Sports have always been a big part of Central, going all the way back to Fort Wayne High School where Central traces its beginnings. Sports have al- ways been important but it was the game itself that mattered, not if Central won or lost. Winning is not a stranger to the grey stone walls that house the Tigers. To look any record book will show that Central has won its share of games and some of the other guy ' s too. Success in all sports and especially football and basketball are an indication of the deter- mination and the long hours of work and preparation that go into any sport during any year. The faces that look out from this page show some of the people who have made the athletic program a success. They are not always the winners. They are not always the state champion or the un- defeated. But they are the sportsmen and the gentlemen. Central has never had to apologize for those who have proudly and faith- fully worn her well respected Blue and White. One of the earliest pictures of a Fort Wayne Grid club is the one above of the 1899 Fort Wayne High School Tigers. 1935 Gridtigers moved the ball with style.

The 1941 graduation sent many fine young people into a far from quiet world. They have done well with the trust Central put in them. Classes are the biggest part of Central and the study was never easy and the work was always worth doing. Mr. Fred Croninger showed the map of the great war to his students. Central has never been afraid to face the reality of society.
