Another Hall View242 viewsAnother view down the hall, from the other direction.

Shop Room239 viewsAs 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.

Pencils in the ceiling...238 viewsWhen Tim was in school, people liked to fling pencils (and drumsticks) into the ceiling tile. Either they never removed them in the last 20 years, or the kids today still do the same...

Science Room232 viewsAt one time this was the Choir room, but in 1983, it was converted to the science room. It hasn't changed a whole lot since Tim remembers it in 1988-- those black tables are ancient, seeming old when he was using them...

Small office232 viewsThis room has some special memories for Tim. In 1982, he took a summer computer class and was exposed to computers for the first time. Then he started 7th grade and the school's only two computers, and Apple II+ and a //e, where in this room. Being bitten by the computer bug, he continues to pay the mortgage by being a nerd today... Shortly afterward this became the guidance counselor's office.

M-T class of 1988230 viewsTim'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...
