Central High School - Red and Black Yearbook (St Louis, MO)

l.et's lVlake a Date Now For February 'l'l, 1948 Central will be 95 years old on February 11. 1948. and the officers are already making plans for a grand reunion on the ninety-fifth birthday of our Alma Mater. Since the school auditorium holds only 700 people, it will be necessary to hold this celebration in a place that will accommodate several thousand. One oflicer suggests that we hold it in the Conven- tion Hall of Kiel Auditorium and conduct it something like the so-called i'beer con- certs that were given there a year or two ago. If anyone thinks he has a better idea, let him write a letter to the president or secretary, explaining his proposals. At any rate, put a big Red and Black circle on your calendar around the date February ll, 1948. Personal Alumni Notes One of our most enthusiastic alumni is Richard Harkness C1891 1. He was president of the Boys' Literary Society and recently brought to the school the Boys' Literary So- ciety Diploma of Theodore Koestli 118911, who presented it to the school. Mr. Hark- ness keeps in touch with many other Boys of '91 , including Admiral Leigh Palmer fnow in New York City1 and Dwight Kel- logg and Winfred Ernst Garrison. Another interesting item of school history disclosed the fact that on our diplomas as far back as 1875 the oflicial title of the school as printed on the diploma was THE ST. LOUIS CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. Such a diploma, issued to Miss Jennie Riddle, who is still living, was brought to the school recently by her grand-nephew, Charles Mc- Aninch, a member of the senior class.
