classes in dairying were offered. The greenhouse was replaced by garages for the Board of Education busses and trucks in 1938. The school library consisted of some 2,000 volumes in 1894. Today the library has grown to well over 7,000 volumes and occupies one large room which was enlarged in 1940 by ioining an adiacent study hall to the former library. ln 1923, Central's museum was installed in a room near the tower stairways. Many animals were also mounted in their natural habitat and placed in the glass enclosed cases on the third floor. One of the most memorable events in the school's history was President McKinley's visit to Duluth in 1900 when huge crowds of citizens assembled all over the front lawns of the school and along Second Street. The high school students gathered on the front steps and sang everything from Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight to America as Mr. Custance, the music teacher, played the piano which had been moved from the hall to the front porch. A parade of firemen, soldiers, and the city band preceded the president's beautiful carriage. Then President McKinley delivered a speech from his carriage parked on Second Street in the front of the school to climax this outstanding day. Central's cannon, a trophy of the Spanish-Amer- ican War, was presented to the city by the gov- ernment and accepted by the Board of Education on July 1, 1899. Mounted near the front walk before the main entrance, it was a feature of the school grounds until this school year when it was turned over to the war scrap drive. The Auction, Dress-up Day, and Red and White Day have come down through the years as trad- itional events. However, social customs have seen many changes. During the gay nineties, Central belles and their beaux traveled in big carriages called tally-hos to the class parties at the homes of students or teachers. Now, since classes of around six hundred members have become a trifle too large for homes, parties are held at the Curling Club and the Hotel Duluth ball- room, which is usually the scene of the largest affair, the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The school has seen our country engaged in three wars and its thousands of alumni have traveled to all parts of the world, following many different vocations, yet those high school years spent at Cen- tral and the teachings of its faculty remain an un- forgettable and vital part of their lives.
