Lunch Room131 viewsCathy: "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>

Shop Room130 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.

Back View127 viewsAnother view from the back, showing the shop/old gym. The silver walk-in freezer was added when Tim was a senior in 1988. Some of his classmates helped build it...

Thornton126 viewsThe building proudly displays the name "Thrornton", since it was built to be Thornton's K-12 school.

Science Room125 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...

View down the hall125 viewsWhen 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...
