COSHOCTON – Mike Newell was in study hall 28 when President John Kennedy was assassinated. “They announced it over the loud speaker and let us out of school,” he said. That study hall was in the old Coshocton High School, which eventually became known as Central Elementary. The building may have come tumbling down this week, but memories of it will live on in the hearts and minds of those who attended school there.
