.L .4 .gs 'P-3 , Exasperation sometimes culminated a day of continual practice for Mr. David Ray, band director. In this progressing world new science discoveries are be- ing made every day. At this rapid pace, science teachers sometimes find it difficult to keep their students informed on the ever-challenging new science discoveries as well as reviewing them on facts already known. Central's science department, however, is well equipped in both the bio- logical and physics fields to compel students to their high- est potential in classroom work. Lab experiments and films also helped teachers get their points across. This was Mrs. Judy Scotfs first year as head of the science department. Developing musical talents and keeping Central swing- ing was the job ofthe Music department this year. The band, directed by Mr. David Ray, gave concerts and at- tended contests. The chorus, lead by Mrs. Ruby Dunn, gave a Thanksgiving Song Fest and a Christmas program among other things.
