Historical Sketch The St. Louis Central High School, oldest public high school west of the Mississippi River, and one of the first co-educational high schools in the world. was opened on February 11, 1853, on the third door of the Benton Grade School at Sixth Street and Locust. The five-towered building first known as the St. Louis High School was erected at Fifteenth and Olive, and was dedicated on March 24, 1856. The first graduation exercises were held on July 2, 1858. There were thirteen graduates. Branch high schools for first-year students had to be opened about 1870, after which the main building was informally called Central, although it remained THE High School. In 1880 pupils were first graduated in January. This custom has continued ever since. In June, 1893, the last class was graduated from the old building, and in Sep- tember a new building at Grand and Windsor was opened. A total of 2,345 students graduated from the building at Fifteenth and Olive. When the school celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 1903, the number of graduates had grown to 4,413. The current enrollment at that time reached 2,000. McKinley High School, in South St. Louis, and Yeat- man High School, in North St. Louis, were constructed to take care of the increasing high school population of the city. The name of Central was then made official, but the remained the school athletic letter. Red and Black had been adopted as the school colors in 1896. In 1904, when the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Olympic Games were held in St. Louis, Central was awarded several medals for classwork and student activi- ties, and the track team won the high school athletic cham- pionship of the world. The national baseball champion- ship was added in 1906. The football and basketball teams also have won many championship trophies. The words to the school LOYAL SONG were written about 1906 by Clarence Stratton, one of the English teachers. Hundreds of loyal Central graduates have won national and international recognition throughout the years. The long list of her alumni includes cabinet members, college presidents, congressmen, Pulitzer Prize winners, eminent generals, and admirals: distinguished artists, scientists, and musicians: outstanding lawyers, physicians, and business men. Among her alumnae are many leaders in the fields of education, literature, art, music, the stage, social work. and countless others. During the early period of Central history the OWL, symbol of wisdom, was known as the Central emblem and mascot. It was not until 1938 that Central's athletes adopted the nickname of' REDWINGS. By 1926 the Grand Avenue building became obsolete, and Central moved temporarily into the Yeatman building at Garrison Avenue and Natural Bridge. This was pos- sible because the Yeatman students and faculty had been transferred to the new Beaumont High School building. Iri 1928 Central celebrated her seventy-Hfth birthday with a grand reunion, attended by 3,000 of her 9,000 graduates. That year the school also published a jubilee yearbook of three hundred pages. The iirst Central yearbook was issued in 1904. As early as 1877 the MONTHLY BLOSSOM appeared. This eight-page publication was followed by THE NUT in 1885 and 1886. In 1891 came THE REFLECTOR, which was a sixteen-page monthly. In 1896 the HIGH SCHOOL NEWS was begun as a monthly magazine, and for about twenty years was undoubtedly the best high school magazine in the country. From 1910 to 1917 the January and June editions of the HIGH SCHOOL NEWS served as yearbooks. In 1916 this splendid magazine had to be suspended on account of World War I. Its place was taken by a four-page newspaper called THE NEWS. which is still published semi-monthly. The iirst edition of the RED AND BLACK was published in 1917, and it has continued to appear annually or semi-annually ever since. We hope that the present volume of the RED AND BLACK offers abundant evidence that our grand old school, which has been attended by nearly 50,000 students, and has given diplomas to over 12,000 of her sons and daugh- ters, is an outstanding progressive institution, with the very richest traditions, and deserves the very highest recog- nition for its services to the youth of our great city. HAIL TO THEE, OUR ALMA MATER. HAIL TO CENTRAL HIGH! -mother of the twelve splendid high schools of St. Louis.
