Roller skating was the most popular sport for both boys and girls. and the several large rinks in the different sections of the city were gathering places for fun-loving young folks. Before passing to the Central High period, it might be interesting to glance over the number enrolled during the Columbus High School period for the last twenty years, for the increase was extremely rapid: 1873-'84, 222g 1880-'81, 5595 1887-'88, 662. In the fall of 1892 two teachers had classes at Sullivant School and three at Eighth Avenue, until February, 1893, when North High was opened.

The commencement exercises were held each June, at this period in the old Comstock Opera House, afterwards the Metropolitan, and now the Hint ' ' ' place where erscheid s crockery store is located. The length of the commencement program depended upon the size of the honor roll. Each honor student had an original essay and deliv- ered it on this occasion. All pupils were seated upon the stage in a semi-circle, the girls dressed in fancy white dresses and the boys in dark suits. Parents and friends were seated as near the Stage as possible. Once a year, on St. Valentine's even- ing, a social was given by the Juniors to the Seniors in the Chapel. The chief fea- ture was tableaus, in which the pupils took part.
