Name: Champaign Central High School irth Date: 1867, 1893, 1914, 1955. The first high school was built in 1867 on the site of the present high school and was called West Side High School. In 1893, the original was razed by fire and a new building was built at the corner of Hill and Ran- dolph streets. It was affectionately called the Little Brick Schoolhouse after a public school that once stood on the spot. The new building was the first to be called Champaign High School and it is still standing. In the picture of that school above, it is shown as it looks today, a ware- house for Illinois Bell. The next Champaign High School was built in 1914 and is now Edison WMA WW Ji Mews an comfy Ublwftfbfnaj ozN2lfZ'i Qdfcmjfx, at kwa? plum!

In 1955, the high U school was moved to its present site when an addition was added to the old junior high school to accommo- date the larger number of students. It was about the time of the Little Brick Schoolhouse that the Maroon Bear was made the mascot of Cham- paign High School. He led the Maroons to many victories through the years.

When the 1206 students and 86 teachers came to Champaign Central High School, they inherited a proud history. Echoes of Centra1's victorious past still ring through the halls. The school has produced its share of cham- pions and scholars. Among the champions that Central produced are Clyde Turner, a basket- ball great, and Skip Ohls, an All- American football player. Some of the scholars are Arthur Price, a diplomat, and architect Larry Cannon. If the leaders of Champaign, Illi- nois, sent a birth announcement for their brain child, it might have read something like this:
