Anyone who drives down Harrison Street can see the $4 2 million renovation first hand. There’s no doubt the renovation project will be great when it’s completed next year, but for now it means no student parking, and shouting over the noise of the construction. The face of Central may be changing, but some things never change. Take for ex- ample our three time state championship track team and all the otner outstanding organizations we boast. Cen- tral people are not content just watching, we actively pursue excellence. Just going to CHS and being a Blue Devil attracts atten- tion. If it weren’t for us there wouldn’t be any attraction at all. Notice how crowded the halls are? With close to 100 transfers from West and Assumption plus 200 open enrollment students the fact is clear there is something unique about CHS. What attracts these students to CHS? “Central pride and enthusiasm,” said open enrollment student Terry Swan. Because of this and much more Central un- doubtedly deserves billing as “The Main Attraction.” THESE SOPHOMORES KNEW their first foot- ball game would be explosive, but not to the point of the stadium lights blowing up and the cancella- tion of the game!

2 We’re the best and we’re the last. Next year the face of Central will change forever, but that’s only a superficial change. A more basic change is that Cen- tral’s population will be split between North High opening in the fall of '85 and CHS. But for now the focus is on Central; wre are “The Main Attraction.” How can we help but be “The Main Attraction”? ON THE FIELD or even sidelined with an ankle injury football standout. Rodney Taylor, is still the main attraction. Photo: S. Young. TRADITION NEVER DIES.
