Below are a few more pics from our middle school, taken in October 2008 by Kathy Flynt. I've also tried to find an older picture of the same area for comparison.
Here is the front hall of the middle school, looking north. If you went out the double doors way down at the end of this hall, you'd be heading towards the gym. You can see the set of water fountains on the right. The open door in the foreground is most likely Mrs. Rhoden's old room. I only have one memory of this room: spitwads.
circa mid-1960's
Similar hall, 2008
The main hall. Who had lockers in this hall? The retro-odd-shaped windows on the right look into the library.
Below is the same trophy case next to the library entrance (above). I can't remember what we put in the trophy case during our four years in middle school, but FORTY years ago, some of our parents displayed championship trophies for their high school sports teams.


This place would rival any outdoor Citgo Station restroom in Jefferson County.

Aaahhhh... the blacktop!
It's where we hung out before school in the AM and then during our lunch recess.
It's where we gathered in clicks.
It's where we swarmed in sadistic frenzies watching fist fights.
It's where we played four square against the Tompkins. And lost.
It's where I saw a pair of Nike's for the first time ever.
It's where we paired up on those white curbs and tried to pull our opponent off without losing our balance.
It's where several of us weaker ones got "pantsed."
It's where Jamey Black "two'd" Andy Mayberry.
It's where we passed origami-like folded notes with the fateful question "WILL YOU GO WITH ME?"
I wonder what kind of memories are being made on the blacktop today?
I wonder if they realize it?
I wonder if they realize it?
Very cool. I feel like playing some 4-square and that came where you try to throw the other person off the cement parking space thing. Eric
