When the swimming pool was under construction, it was found that "ground water was seeping in" and the pool was never finished. The pool would have been below the floor levels of the two gyms. Think about the steps from the back doors that took you down to the gym levels..and near the bottom of one of those steps, there was another narrower flight of steps that went down to the boiler room level. The boiler room had water problems too but apparently the boilers were need to heat the building and they had equipment to deal with that. To reach the custodian's office, you went up another flight of steps from the boiler room to the brick driveway behind the school. The real information "from the horse's mouth" so to speak dispels the more interesting tales about the unfinished swimming pool. Sorry about the...but "Now you know". |
 Memory
provided by Lois. In the 5th
and 6th grades, our class went to the "Handicrafts" room on
the second floor once or twice a week, where we worked on art and
science projects. One science project required each of us to
collect as many different kinds of rocks as we could, and make a display
case for them. It was a neat way to learn about granite, shale,
mica, and many more types of rock and stone. One art project
involved transferring a design to a piece of copper sheeting--then using
different implements to make a "3-D" picture on the copper and
then nailing the copper sheet to a flat piece of wood. My copper
picture was of a horse's head. My "Gypsy Dance" painting
was originally a drawing from a coloring book. The design was
traced onto a piece of wood, then painted and shellacked. |
