Working from the office rec- ords of graduates was impossible, for that would demand the efforts of a re- search committee working for months or perhaps a year or two. Information was obtained from questionnaires sent to class officers, to alumni, whom others suggested, to people listed in the Diamond Iubilee issue of the RED AND BLACK, and to those whose names are in Mrs. Bryan's invaluable clipping Hle. It is evident that this method of procedure does not always result in accuracy. May the staff and sponsor be forgiven for unfortunate omissions. Acknowledgments are due and gratefully given to Miss Lily R. Ernst, Miss Matilda Gecks, Miss Lillian Heltzell, Miss Grace Dennison, Iudge Hugo Grimm, Iudge Iohn W. Calhoun, and Mr. W. S. Bryan for encouragement, help, and guidance: to the Board of Education, the Public Library, and the Chamber of Commerce for engravingsg to Mr. Vest Davis, sponsor of the 1928 yearbook, for records which have served as the basis of much of the material in this book: to alumni, who responded so readily to questionnaires: to Mrs. W. I. S. Bryan, whose clipping file, kept faithfully during the long period of Mr. Bryan's service in the St. Louis public school system, has been at our command and available in lists which Mrs. Bryan herself wrote out for us in longhandg to Miss Lottie Huff for permission to reprint the old woodcut of the architect's plan of High School found in a book of records owned by her late father, Mr. Merrifield W. Huff, who graduated from Central in 18743 to students, secre- taries, and faculty of Central High School, without whose generous coopera- tion this book could never have been produced.
