A Look at the Old Place



For those of you who still live there these pictures may not seem like that big of a deal, but to me they are. It's my first up close look at the school in a number of years. Thanks Kathey!

In the picture on the left, it still looks like it did 40 years ago. The building's a blooming antique. But someone has done a good job in keeping it up.

In the middle picture I can see they moved the flagpole out front, which actually makes sense when you think about it. Why was it in the back of the school in the first place?

The picture on the right is a bit of an irritant. We asked for baseball way back when. I'm glad someone finally added it.

This old building has no doubt been thru the wars, but as the saying goes, it's in pretty good shape for the shape that it's in.

Don't we really feel like the school should look like it did when we walked in? It is hard to believe it has been 40 years. Doesn't our minds still want to think we are still teenagers? Don't we feel young again when we are together as a group? When we have our 60 year reunion, will we still act like children? What do you think?

I still remember walking into that big school. I had been in such a small class at Jackson and now all those kids -I just felt like I didn't belong there. But then I noticed all the cute guys and thought "maybe this won't be so bad".
