Sef-Service Gas Station Ban
Studied by Alexandra Council

The Alexandria City Council
appears to have changed it's mind
about permitting self lf-service gas
oline stations.
When an ordinance to regulate
such stations came up at last
nights council meeting, a substi-
tute to outlaw the stations was
offered.
A letter from the Chamber of
Commerce protested that self
service stations would put some
gasoline stations out of business,
create unemployment and would
not be safe.
One self-service station already
is operating on River road. It was
opened June 4 with council per-
mission.
Proposal Is Referred.
When the regulatory ordinance
came UP for second reading ano
passage, Attorney Armisteao
Boothe, representing a group o1
gasoline station proprietors, sug-
gested an outright prohibition Of
the self-service stations. His pro-
posal was referred to a committee
after councilmen questioned le-
gality of acting on the substitute
last night.
On motion of Councilman Mar

Central Graduates Last Glass
Amid 7 ears, Memories of Past

things that are just and good In
our school will live on" bravely
declared Class President Robert
Mackie.
Supt. of School Hobart M.
Corning, who graduated from
Central in 1907, wasn't on the
program, but he appeared on the
stage to make a brief speech.
II came to see the last COM
mencement of my own high
school," he said.
In white cap and gown pretty
Elizabeth Anne .Eilers, class his
torian and salutatorian, fought to
keep her voice from trembling as
she spoke her brave words:
Some say Central is dying,
but we, the last class, say no.
For she will live forever in our
hearts and souls and blossom
forth in the kind Of lives we lives
because Of what she has done for
U.s."
Certificates Awarded.
The school traced its history
back to 1880 when the Advanced
Grammar School for Boys and
the Advanced Grammar School
for Girls merged-a daring ex-
pertinent in those days-to become
the Washington High School at
Seventh and o streets NV. It
soon became known as the Gen.
trail High School.
DR.. Ruloll Strattan, SO, of the
class of '87, was on the platform
last night and was handed a
certificate of distinction and many
kind words.
"They spelled my name wrong.
though" he chuckled as he looked
over his certificate. Spelled it
with an 20" just like they used
to do" The spelling was Stratton.
Certificates were given also to
Hugh S. Smith. principal Of JET
ferson Junior High School, and
Miss Ruth McCrae, assistant prin-
cipal Of Central. Both are old
grads.
Population Changed.
Central died under the surging
pressure of Washington's popula-
ton changes. When the school
was built on the high hill over
looking the city at Thirteenth and
Clifton streets it was in a predom-
inately white neighborhood. Now
it is surrounded by the fine homes
of colored citizens. Their chill
dren had to travel miles to over
crowded and ancient high school
buildings.
The lights went out but on the
sidewalk outside people stood talk
ing. They were elderly people for
the most part, but they hated To
leave the scenes where tender
memories were nourished. But
gradually they drifted away and
Central High became a memory.
