Throughout the years that Central existed, the students always had time to find a place of their own where they could go to relax and be with their friends. As far back as the 1920's students chose restaurants. McDonalds seemed to he the most popular place this year though Uncle john's Pancake House and several of the local pubs ran a close second.

That goal was to make their stay at Champaign Central High School a success.
