By 1885 Central City began to boom after the arrival of the Burlington & Missouri Railroad. In the process of growing the city built a brick high school and the Nebraska Central College. By the 1890s economic conditions began to deteriorate and the college closed. The college would reopen in 1899 under the auspices of the Society of Friends (Quakers) as economic conditions improved and in the early 1900s the Central City High School would be built.
There are missing issues between 1916 – 1919, and 1936 – 1942. On top of a depression, there was also paper shortage during some of this period. We are not certain if yearbooks were published during those years for Central City High School.
