REAR FNTRANCE SHOXVING STADIUM AND GYMNASIUM ' . In the present curriculum, seven various courses are offered, namely, Academic, Scientific, Commercial, Art, Drafting, Home Ilconomics, and Teaching. In its beginning Central was established as a free school for Catholic boys and girls who were unable to attend existing tuition high schools under Catholic auspices. For ten years the only charge to students was a registration fee of ten dollars. The school was supported through parish assessments. XWhen, however, the financial collapse rendered the parishes unable to assist, it was found impossible to continue as a free school. The first departure from the free tuition policy was the establishment of the tuition fee in September, 1930. As depression increased, many students who had felt that they could meet tuition obliga- tions when they registered found that they could no longer do so. At the close of that school year it was clear that a deficit was inevitable. In a series of meetings of the Board of Fiscal Control and the Reverend Pastors of the city it was decided to conduct a summer festival on the school grounds for the benefit of the school. The festival, successful beyond expectations, was repeated the following year. This year on the evenings of June 141, 15, 16, the third annual festival will be held. According to the Principal, Reverend Raymond G. Kirsch, at least 325,000 must be realized in order to meet outstanding obligations. Central Catholic High School, during its fourteen years of operation, has made thousands of friends in Toledo, and it is upon the continued sacrifices of these friends that the doors of Central will remain open. , , 3 ..., , ,H TYPEXVRITING ROOM .ffl
