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.

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.

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. 1403750 •-* • • **** 4, • -11,•14.4A:e else a 1•42■4 is 4 = ; •
