I was browsing the Bibb County forum for the first time and found your query, now close to a year old. Looks like you never got a response, so I'll put my two cents' worth in on your question. During the time you mentioned, schools were secregated by race and sex. The white boys high school was probably was Lanier High School for Boys, built in 1913, named for the Macon native poet, Sidney Lanier. There was a second school but it was not opened until about 1958. The old Lanier High School was located off Napier Ave. and was destroyed by fire in 1967. About 1973, along came desecregation, and Lanier was merged with Miller, the white girls' school, and Appling High, which was a colored school. The new school was named Central High School and continues today under that name.
