school system.
Later, the high
school was held In th.e basements ot
the Congregational and
Baptist
churches, in the Hamilton house, and
in a church building on FIfteenth
street.
Old capitol hill where the Territorlal state house had stood from
1855-57 and the Territorial capitol
from 1857-67, was deeded by the
action of the Nebraska state legislature to the city of Omaha for educational purpooes in April, 1869. Th~
act of the legislature provided for a
board of regents to have management over the building.
The legal document setting forth
the reasons for such enactment is In'
the original words as follows:
Whereas, The capitol grounds
heretofore occupied by the State of
Nebraska were originally conveyed
to the Territory of Nebraska by saId
City of Omaha; and
Whereas, After the erection of
capitol building thereon had been
commenced by the government of the
United States, the
appropriation
therefore was found to be insufficient; and
Whereas, After the susp~nsion of
the construction of said buildings'
lor the reason aforesaid the people,
of the said City of Omaha contributed the sum of sixty thousand dollars to complete the same; and
Whereas, The said capitol building
has ceased to use said capitol
grounds' and buildings for the objects originally contemplated; .and
Whereas, The said 'capitol building
is now In a condition to require the
expenditure of a large sum

IN THE DAYS OF '7fk
From frizzed "fronts" to Peter Pan 'bobs, from literary
societies to the Radio club, from church basements to a beautiful,
imposing building, 1876 to 1926, 50 long, golden years of Central
history, history that should be the most interesting in all the

In the first place, the buildings stood on t,he present .. site of
Central, although that was much higher in the air than it is now.
This building was referred. to in awed tones as "the one with the
mansard roof" and it also sported a tall bell tower. It was red
brick and was. a very fine one for the time.
.
As for the Centralites of 50 years ago, who are probably
much more interesting than the building, they were very much
