Cover and interior illustrations by Gerald "Jerry" Costello.

Gerald “Jerry” Costello was a student at Central in 1915 and did all of the artwork for the April edition of the student publication, Impressions:  the cover, six section headings and two footers - nine illustrations in total.

He illustrated other covers, including one for Presidents’ Day in March 1915 that was praised in The Scranton Republican:

“The current issue of the Central High School Impressions just reached my desk. It is without a doubt the best number ever published by Central High School students and is a credit to the school. On the cover is a sketch of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln from the pen of Gerald Costello, one of the most promising sketch artists in this city.”
