1890s classroom museum has artifacts from New Central after it's closing.
- [Interviewer] If a visitor were to come to the 1890s classroom, what could they experience?
- Well, they'd get to look back on the old classroom set up.
A lot of people come in to look through our collection of yearbooks, they look back for their grandparents, aunts and uncles, siblings, and things like that, and go through the miscellaneous artifacts that we have.
It's a way to reconnect them with the objects that have a personal meaning for me or the class of 79 high school, or, excuse me, class of 79 state championship trophies for basketball.
This group was formed, they started redoing a tradition of giving the seniors upon graduation or prior to graduation, they would go up into the clock tower and sign their name according to the year of their graduation and I would assume that it was something always of a tradition for Central, and then it went away for a little while.
This group that I'm a part of brought it back, I want to say it's, we'll see at least seven flights up into the tower.
But it fun, and it's, I'm one of the few in my class that have been able to do it.
