A great variety of courses, including typing, shorthand, business mathematics, and business law, is offered. An important feature of the pro- gram is the placement of students in retailing in jobs within the community for rounding out their formal educa- tion by first-hand experience. 22 -nn., kv, ,, i .f i

Language The Foreign Language Department, adeptly guided by Miss Avery, helps to destroy barriers of ignorance and pre- judice and to aid in the construction of international bridges through the understanding of other tongues and cultures. French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish are offered. Russian is taught in the Adult Education program. One of the departrnent's fundamental aims is to enable students to become aware of and appreciate ideas and contributions different from their own. While production of well-informed tourists is not the principal goal, it is cer- tainly hoped that every foreign language student will even- tually have the opportunity to visit abroad. By fostering interest in, and respect for, our brothers around the globe, Central's Foreign Language Department is aiding a worthy and important cause, that of world peace and fellowship. -r ---- A-,...,,,,,M-I , Seated, left to right: Miss Weih, Miss Francescutti, Miss Avery, Mr Pompa.

X A N., ,e 0 .2 ii- F, Physical Education Lelt to right: Mr. Graham, Miss Sinkinson, Miss Matsumoto, Mr. Mantrone. The Physical Education Department, under the direction of Mr. Graham and Miss Sinkinson, teaches the skills of the various sports in gym classes-some with as many as 110 students- and supervises extra-curricular clubs and sports in which these skills may be practiced. New courses and clubs have been organized for the girls: Miss Matzumoto teaches ele- mentary judo and the art of self-defense, Mrs. Moffatt gives a course in modern dance, and an indoor archery club meets in the basement of Suprina's. Centralites thus have the oppor- tunity to build their bodies while learning skills in sports. Health Centralls Health Department, headed by Miss Green, teaches two very valuable courses. Health I is a course for seniors who have not taken the biology course. Health II is a required course in psychology. The Health Department per- forms an important service by teaching us how to take care of our minds and bodies. Qcxvx wr' f . ..mm Mr. D'E1ia, Miss Green.
