Band Room officeWilliam sits at the desk in the band room office. Tim's sister Deb used to teach band/vocal here and use this office... I believe at one time, this was the balcony for the old gym, which was where the shop room and band room now are...Jul 31, 2008

Band RoomWhen Tim was in 7th grade, this was the band room, and the choir room was across the hall. When the elementary came over, this became the combined band/vocal room. Jul 31, 2008

Shop RoomAs noted above, 'shop' was no longer offered at M-T in recent years, so the portions of the room which didn't become the distance learning center kind of reverted to a messy storeroom. When the building was first built in the 1930's, this area, along with the band room coming up, was the school gym and auditorium -- you can still see the Proscenium arch in the upper right of this picture.

Shop Room tool areaSince the high school left 20 years ago, the shop room was largely converted into a high-tech distance learning facility (which for some reason I didn't take a picture of). But parts of the 'old' shop room still exist, like this tool storage area, which, although much messier than our old shop instructor Mr. Wiebenga would have kept it, is about the same as I remember it.

Lunch RoomCathy: "You guys had a dedicated lunch room?" Tim: "Where else would you eat?" Cathy: "Our school ate in the commons area..." Tim: "Uhm, have you seen a 'commons area' in this school??" <g>Jul 31, 2008

Popcorn MachineThe old popcorn machine looked pretty old when we were in school, but now it looks positively ancient! When M-T was a high school, the junior class was in charge of running the concession stand during sporting events as a class fundraiser. Lots of popcorn was served from this machine over the years...Jul 31, 2008

William in a lockerWilliam checks out a locker. These don't look brand new or anything, but they're a lot nicer than the ones we had when I was there...Jul 31, 2008

Toilet stallThe infamous toilet stall in the guy's locker room. Ask any guy who was in sports or PE at M-T in the mid 80's and they could tell you the same story about a certain teacher who preferred this toilet...Jul 31, 2008

Guys locker roomJust proof that there is such a thing as "smell memory", we all walked into the guys locker room and immedately gasped "oh man, it's that smell..." Decades of musty, sweaty odor <g>. At some point they put in newer lockers, but otherwise the room was pretty much identical to when Tim ran track and had PE in the 80's.Jul 31, 2008
