NOTES:
To compile this information I first used a mimeographed class list called Directory Of The 226th Class Of Central High School which contained names, addresses and telephone numbers of the 16 homerooms (called Books). This list has been with my yearbook in storage since 1967 and is like new. I seem to recall (and I may be wrong) that this was issued in our senior year. It is hand typed with a change of font towards the end. Some attempts to correct errors were done at that time as can be seen from the typography.
I then cross-referenced this list with the Yearbook and the Graduation program from June 19, 1967. The differences in each source are noted throughout this web page with symbols such as an asterix, parenthesis and brackets.
As an historian I always strive for accuracy, of course. Here are my observations:
KEY TO THE DIRECTORY:
WHO IS IN THE 226?
I used three sources of information to compile this list, and each source had some defects.
I recall an academic document that ranked all class members and it stated that the class had 482 members, but my memory could be defective.
My numbers above show 498 class members, however some of the boys may have not graduated with the class for various reasons.
In the Commencement booklet from June 19, 1967 the names of 461 students are listed.
This leaves 37 names unaccounted for in my listing above. The boys NOT listed in the Commencement booklet are identified with a question mark (?) in front of their name. The omission of their names from the commencement booklet, however, may have been due to clerical errors or as a punishment for such offenses as an unpaid library fine -- I have no way of knowing.
Of great interest was the finding of two students, Alan Michael Deitch and Paul J. Fioravanti who were listed in the Commencement booklet but nowhere else.
I have not been able to determine if #209 and #210 are the same person (Kain).
Because the class was large, four decades have elapsed, I have not been close to the alumni association and I have not followed the paths of my classmates, I do not know at this time who did not graduate or why their names are not in the Commencement booklet.
For all these reasons above I cannot determine with accuracy the actual number of students in the graduating class. SOURCES:
