More plumbingVery similar to the other picture above, but for the Girl's bathroom. Notable how 'sexist' the thinking was when this was built in the 1930's: The guy's version of this was accessed from the boy's bathroom. The girl's version was accessed through the adjoining classroom. The thinking, I'm sure, was that the janitor would be male and couldn't go into the girl's bathroom easilly to work on stuff... Rumor had it that you could sneak in here and peep into the Girl's bathroom, Porky's-style...

LibraryAt one time this was the art room, then it became the 'elementary library' when the elementary came over in 1983, the function it evidently still has today. Some of the bookshelves were salvaged from the Meservey building when it closed.

View down the hallWhen we attended here, it just seemed like an old school. Coming back, it seems kind of cool. They've obviously updated it -- new ceilings, doors, etc. But that cool checkerboard floor goes back to when the building was built in the 1930's. Incidentally the old doors that were there when Tim was in school used these huge skeleton keys that each teacher had to carry around...

M-T class of 1988Tim's graduating class, the last class of M-T high school before it merged to become SCMT. Yes, that's the entire class. Now you understand why the school had to merge, and eventually close...
