SIXTY YEARS FOREWORD SIXTY YEARS AGO the doors of old Central swung open to 229 selected students who regarded their high school work as a stepping stone to college. Today, grown from a school of a few rooms to a great institution, possessing a well stocked library, well equipped art and music departments, trade shops, science laboratories, gymnasiums, and a stadium, it admits daily 2,353 Centralites. It offers a well rounded education in the fields of college preparation, business training, and mechanical work. The Centralian, in this year of world fairs, presents in the form of an exposition Central's progress from 1879 to 1939.
