wi Mn Snowbound wqwmmsk -5 i 'Wu 'ws NN-.,.N 555,54 WW mWM,.cKRt'w, lN.k m.mNMiLTM 'iwsM www 'wt , Fifteen years have rolled away since Father Wil- liam Hammeke of St. Paul's Parish purchased the Luden estate in 1939 for the education of Catholic teenagers in Reading. Since those early days Central has had a mush- rooming business of its own. The seventy-five student enrollment of l94l has galloped to an impressive 763. Twenty-seven different parishes are taking advan- tage ofthe school's educational facilities at the present time. Such outlying districts as Phoenixville, Pottsville, Hamburg, Bernville, and Kutztown are also availing themselves of the opportunities afforded by our Alma Mater. Dear Old Central High Visions of a growing family required that the mansion be converted. Vigorous drilling and pound- ing transformed Mr. Luden's gracious home into classrooms and offices. The den became Father Fricker's headquarters. Billiards once rolled in the physics lab, plants and flowers blossomed in the Office Practice room. Frequent visitors to Father Leichner will be surprised to learn that his office was once the breakfast room, with rows of canary cages lining the entrance. All for the sake of Catholic educa- tion! gg of 'A fi sg-V 1 '- - iii: if M1.i,.5:t.g-tg.-kg , A, '33 H l s 1 Oasis in the park
