Jewish with a few non-Jews, 
including some African 
Americans,” says Feinberg. 
“Everyone knows each 
other, and people stay in 
touch.” 
That closeness is evident 
in their frequent reunions 
— Central’s class of 1952 
has held reunions every 
five or 10 years since 
graduation. 
This year, the most 
famous member of the class 
— Michigan’s U.S. Sen. Carl 
Levin — will be missed 
after his death in 2021. 
According to Feinberg, Sen. 
Levin cleared his calendar 
to attend every reunion 
with his wife, Barbara. 
Feinberg remembers that 
as a young boy Levin “was 
very shy around girls. He 
would get kind of blushy. 
He was so darn smart — 
he didn’t have to study for 
exams. We knew that he 
would be successful and do 
something special.”
This year’s reunion will 
be a luncheon at Andiamo 
Bloomfield Hills on Aug. 7. 
Age and COVID concerns 
are deterrents for some 
class members to attend, 
and organizers think this 
may be the last reunion. 
Class members are urged to 
bring Central High School 
memorabilia. 
Central was the first 
public high school in 
Detroit — opening in 1858 
— and the second oldest 
in Michigan. At one time 
there were 4,000 students. 
Today, 314 students 
attend Central in the 
same building as the class 
of 1952, located at 2425 
Tuxedo in Detroit.
