Central Grad Takes Care OF Attendance Bost Serves Deans, Tall, brown e y e d , L o i s Bost is the keeper of the attendance of- fice and sec- retary for the deans. Lois is ax Central grad u a t c of 1943. Before that she attended 'Baker grade school. After leaving Central in '43 Lois went to Wheeler Grade School where she was secretary to Principal Dudley, for three years. She returned to Central as secre- tary only last September. History of Central Central's history dates back to 1854 when, as the first city high school in Evansville, it opened its doors. It was named Evansville high school and was located near the spot where Wheeler school now stands. It was sponsored principally by Mr. Horatio W'heeler. This first school was very small and had no graduates until 1863. According to the records, Fred C. Iglehart was the first graduate from this high school. During the Civil War, Central had several boys in the armed forces and one boy was killed. . After the war was over and things began to return to normal, the school was moved to a new building constructed between 1868 and 1873. This building is the middle tower on Seventh street and is still in use. By 1900, the two wings on Seventh street were completed and in 1910-1912 the building on Sixth street was completed. This building contains the offices of the deans and the principal and the various other offices. In 1927 the boys gym was completed. As Central expanded, so did Evansville and in 1918 another high school was constructed. It was called Reitz high school and since Evansville now boasted two high schools, the name of Evansville high school was changed to Central. Bosse was added to the list of high schools in 1924. The class of 1872 originated the idea of leaving a gift to the school to be remembered by. The first senior gift was a portarit of the superintendent. ' The first school paper at Central began in 1904 and was called The Record. It was a monthly paper and published the first year book in 1909. Alvin Reis was editor at this time. The Centralian took its place nine years later, in 1918. Centralites can be proud of their school's long and glorious his- tory. You are a member of the oldest public high school in Indiana and the oldest public high school this side of the Allegheny mountains. rqfma Mala i Pictured above is Central High School, Alma Mater to some 400 graduating Seniors ,this year. Alma Mater comes from the Latin and means Other Mother. Carl Shrode, principal of Central, is a native Hoosier, and a farm boy to boot. He was born on a farm in Southern Indiana, and at- tended Indiana public schools. Upon' graduation from high school, Mr. Shrode attended Central Normal College at Danville for a few years. He received his A.B. degree from Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pa. Mr. Shrode taught during World War I and shortly after the war was over, entered the public school system. He went to the University of Pennsylvania during the summer months to receive his M.A. degree. After working with the Universities of Columbia and Indiana, Evansville College and the University of Colorado, Mr. Shrode came to Central and took over the position as principal. ' He lists gardening and mountain hiking as his hobbies, also biking. Having climbed Long's Peak twice, once in 1939 and again in 1945, Mr. Shrode labels mountain hiking as his favorite. The peak is 14,255 feet above sea level and contsists of an all day climb of about '19 miles. While visitingnin the Rockies he walked 125 miles on a five .week trip. 2 lean of Qifzh Miss Georgia Flood, dean of girls at Central, is a native of Indiana. She was born in Terre Haute and studied in Indiana's schools. She received her A.B. degree from the Indiana State Teachers' College in Terre Haute and later obtained her M.A. de- gree from Indiana University at Bloomington. In 1923, Miss Flood came to Central as a foreign language teacher and taught Latin during most of her teaching time. In 1936 she became dean of girls and since that time has instituted many ideas to aid the girls of Central. She has furthered the Arista League, which issues the Arista League rating given each semester to those girls who main- tain good conduct according to the requirements listed on the re- port card, and also sponsors the all-girl assemblies. Venetta Long Serves As Office Secretary To Principal Shrode Mrs. Venet- t a M i 1 l e r L o n g , secre- tary to Carl Shrode, prin- cipal, is a graduate of . Central high s c h o o l .
