Sorry dude, I don't think any of us ever attended school at Central. I don't really know of anyone on this site who has gone to school there come to think of it... :(

I don't know dude, but I was only there for like 6 hours and I found it. Just look around. I'm pretty sure I went through a Janitor's closet on the basement/ground level near the lunch room.

That would be the old Cafeteria that used to be on the level below the auditorium...

Well, it was still a cafeteria when I was there. I'm aware they remodeled the building, though. As a matter of fact, they were just starting when I was there. I remember finding a door on the second or third floor that opened up onto nothing! It wasn't as potentially deadly as the one in Messiah Mill, but still not something you expect to find in a high school. Central was a pretty cool place back in the day.

That must have been part of the old walk way that went to the old Music Building that was torn down. I'm not aware of any other doors that open to nothing...

Well, I assume it's since been remedied. I think they actually added more building where the open space was.

I live near Central. I used to go to Drury University. I've seen the back side of the old part by the bike racks... there is no door on the second floor of the old part of the school leading to the outside... there was before the new addition was built on but not now. You can even see where the new window is that doesn't match any of the others on the old part and can tell that's where the door and the walkway used to be.

As far as finding the tunnel under the school, it's in where the band and I think choir rooms are now... it's directly below the auditorium.

i went to Central.

the "tunnels" when i went there aren't all that impressive. they keep a lot of old paper records down there. for some reason, the seniors in the top 15% of their graduating class were shown the "tunnels" and the attic, and the "phantom" staircase.

there is a way to it through the Pit, but i've long since forgot. if you ask one of the teachers that's been there for a while, nicely, they might let you know. :roll:

Yeah, we hoisted a guy up into the attic but I never got to see it firsthand. My HS had stuff like that too, which I'm sure I've mentioned already, like an old theater and projection booth on the top floor. It was almost like a whole other floor, because you sort of had to climb up through the ceiling to get to parts of it. Remodelling does weird things to a building.
