Saluting
150 Years
W
hen a high school opened
three years before the first
shots of the Civil War were
fired in 1861, it's obvious that no one
from the first graduating class will be
mingling around the reunion punch
bowl.
Detroit Central High School, Detroit's
oldest public high school, still plans to
celebrate all 150 years of its existence
during its anniversary gala weekend,
Oct. 10-11.
Current students will get in on
the celebrations first with a series of
master classes taught by alumni from
9-11:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 10. Building
tours and a reception will follow from
noon-2 p.m., with the annual home-
coming parade and football game fes-
tivities running from 3-8 p.m.
On Saturday, Oct. 11, the Blue &
White Central Trailblazers Gala will
start at 6:30 p.m. at Detroit's Masonic
Temple. For $50 a ticket, attendees
can enjoy cocktails, music, dinner and
dancing until midnight and take in a
historical display and program. Round-
trip transportation to and from the gala
is available for $20 per person.
For tickets, transportation or

Booster Club's Web site,

Welcoming its first students only 52
years after Detroit was incorporated,
the school boasts an alumni roster that
reflects 15 decades of the city's ethnic,
racial and religious transformation. For
many years, Central was the public high
school serving one of Detroit's largest
Jewish neighborhoods.
U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Detroit, and
his brother, U,S. Rep. Sander Levin, D-
Royal Oak, and SunAmerica founder
Eli Broad are Central grads, as were
1961 Nobel Prize winning chemist
Melvin Calvin and the late chairman
of Simons Michelson Zieve Advertising
Inc., Mort Zieve. Detroit Pistons owner
Bill Davidson and James Lipton, host
of Bravo's Inside the Actor's Studio, also
graduated from Central.
"Detroit's always been a great cul-
tural melting pot, and Central's gradu-
Honoring Our Veterans
Michigan Jewish War veterans were selected to be the Honor guard at
the veterans' day program this year at the Michigan State Fair. JWV
State commander Jerry Order is shown laying a wreath at the State Fair's
Veterans Monument as color guard members Al Lewis and Mary Delidow
stand at attention. All three men are from Oak Park.
Maccabi Fundraiser
The country club spirit was in full swing at a barbecue and pool party
held at Tam O'Shanter on Aug. 18. More than 400 athletes and host fami-
lies associated with the JCC Maccabi Games in Metro Detroit attended
the Maccabi Host Famly Night event. Proceeds were donated back to the
Games. The Dr. Alan Horowitz Detroit Maccabi Fund, which pays the way
for athletes who otherwise could not afford to participate, received a con-
tribution totaling $2,000 from Tam O'Shanter, Knollwood, Franklin Hills
and Wabeek country clubs. Shown are Tam members Lindsay Rubin of
Bloomfield Hills and her son Isaiah.
ating classes reflect that each year;' said
Robert Steinberg, Class of 1949, who
lost his bid for senior class president
to Sander Levin in a recount. "Central
is an important part, especially, of
Detroit's Jewish heritage'
As Detroit's African American
population grew in the 1960s and
1970s, Central in turn enrolled more
African American students. Eight-time
Grammy Award winning singer Anita
Baker graduated from Central as did
Antonio Gates, currently a tight-end for
the San Diego Chargers.
To ensure Central lives through
another 150 years, its booster club is
offering alumni the opportunity to
become a literal part of their alma
mater. As part of the plan to "rebuild
Detroit Central High School one brick
at a time alumni can purchase a com-
memorative paver brick for a "legacy
walkway."
Pavers start at $100 for a 4x8" paver
with six successive donation packages
including larger paver, memorabilia,
gala tickets and naming rights to two
new planned courtyards.
The commemorative pavers may be
purchased online at www.detcentral-
boosterclub.com.
