No cow in Douglas County is as famous as Molly the Cow. She is quite probably the only cow in all of Douglas County to have gone ?through? High School.

It was late October in 1909, a time when adventurous youths often played pranks. On Halloween night, many teenaged boys would even engage in outhouse tipping.
One group of boys in Alexandria decided to get the fun started a little early in 1909. In the week leading up to Halloween, some students at Central High School noted a series of escalating pranks. One young lady even rescued a cat where it had been placed inside of a piano to ?surprise? the music teacher. (The cat was not happy about this arrangement.)
Halloween morning, a farmer located near Central High School noticed his milk cow, named Molly, was missing. He thought it was strange, since he?d left her in her stable the night before.

Eventually, a rudimentary chute was constructed from wood so Molly could be flipped onto her back, slid down the stairwell, and then walked out of the school.
The boys responsible for the prank were quickly found out and expelled. No other school in the county would take more than one of the expelled children, fearing future pranks they might come up with. Students weren?t even allowed to talk about Molly, though souvenir postcards of the famous ?Cow Who Went Through High School? were quickly made and distributed. (A student brought one of the postcards to school the next week to show a friend and was suspended for the action.)
