Roof Damage303 viewsThis office building's roof was blown apart. The building is adjacent to the freeway (I-494) and the news said that the debris blew onto the road and several cars had their windows knocked out by it.

Shop Room303 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 View303 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...

Collapse from Stone Arch Bridge300 viewsIf you enlarge the picture, you can see some of the green structural members jutting upward, as well as some of the concrete decking in the river underneath and the lock/dam structure. In the background is the 10th Avenue Bridge, where most of the later pictures in this album were taken (it was closed at the time we took the ones on the Stone Arch Bridge).

Bird on the Blinds299 viewsWe think he came in the chimney, and coaxing him back out was a little tricky!

Lunch Room298 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>

Small office298 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.
