[N I HIS PERIOD of rapid expansion it became increasingly easy to picture the Madison of a later day. It took no great imagination to see the size of the city doubled, to see industrial, educational, and governmental developments reaching metropolitan proportions. In 1856 there were four wards; the school boards' budget was only a matter of several thousand dollars, and there were but five public schools in the city. Today there are ten wards; the annual school budget amounts to a million dollars, anil the city school system includes sixteen large, modern institutions. Today Central High School is famous for the excellent calibre ol its faculty and lor the academic and athletic achievements of those who attend and have attended it. Now Central High School is at the climax ol .'s notable career, ami in its record it lends added lustre to the history of the progress of Madison. | Page Seventeen |

The site which Central High School now occupies was selected as likely, and work was immediately begun on a new building. This was but one of many public improvements which emphasized the growth of the city. The new school was larger and far better equipped than the old; a new water system was installed, streets were paved; industrial enterprises grew and prospered; the business district about the square expanded; new university buildings were erected and on the East West, ami South the city limits were continually extended. Madison was indeed entering into its own as capitol of the State of Wisconsin. ( Page Sixteen |

HIS AIR VIEW pictures Madison transformed. Its transformation has been a history of progress, and with its development the growth of Central High School has been closely allied. Madison’s course has been one of uninterrupted advance. The course of Central has been identical. Hereafter Central’s path will be different; and, while our confidence in its ultimate destiny is undiminished, its future is shrouded in vagueness. Therefore we rejoice in the past; and it is with especial pleasure that we turn now to this year's history of our life, of our achievements and triumphs in Central High School. ( Page Kightcon J
