THE COLUMBUS HIGH SCHOOL

Page 8 text:

FOREWORD Realizing that this is the last year that the old Central High building will be used as a school, and that within its walls the first school in Columbus devoted entirely to high school pupils was started sixty-two years ago, the pupils of the Journalism Classes have en- deavored to compile its history as completely and accurately as is possible for students of high school age to do. The history of the school before it was moved into this building has been recorded here because the Alumni Association includes the graduates of those early classes. While in search of material for this history, the Staff has dis- covered almost priceless old manuscripts, such as the first valedictory address given in this building, the Album of the Class of '70, class- day programs and other interesting papers. All of these papers have been combined in a Columbus High School Album, 1853-1870, which follows the historical section of this book. Information regarding the past of the school has been obtained from interviews with graduates and former teachers and has been checked against the Annual Reports of the Superintendents to the Board of Education. For almost every period of history involved in this work a person has been found who attended this school at that time and who has aided in verifying the statements made herein. Without the hearty co-operation of the graduates and former teachers of this school, who so kindly furnished information and refer- ences, the publication of this Annual would have been impossible. We wish especially to thank the following men and women : Dr. Thomas C. Mendenhall, Mr. J. A. Shawan, Mrs. Mary Mattoon Gooding, Miss Mary Wirth, Miss Virginia Howell, Miss Elizabeth Lawrence, Miss Harriet Brocklehurst, Professor W. H. Siebert, Mrs. Frank Raymund, Mr. Osman Hooper, Miss Jane Sullivant, Miss Mattie Simonton, Mr. Herbert Kanmacher, Miss Stella Wilson, Professor Curtis Howard, Mr. Ralph Hoifhines, Miss M. Edith Bell and Miss Anna Thomas. We also wish to thank George Bellows, world-famed artist, and graduate of this school in the Class of 1901, who has consented to allow us to print his picture entitled, Sunday--1897, as an added feature in our Annual.
