You may like to take time to think of how the school looked when you were attending- I just learned from one of the earlier students, that the older students had class in the second floor of the original building- the younger ones had classes down stairs, there was a Stage on the second floor, so all the events were held upstairs. But the biggest memory was the Big stove and the fire wood, seems the classes upstairs had to go down to the woodpile every afternoon and pick up and carry fire wood upstairs for the next day. I was told that was hard work, but they had to do it so they would have heat. Another person remembered to old outhouses and about the lines for students waiting to use them, one for the boys and one for the girls and they were either two or three seaters. Weldon Ivy remembers Home Economics being held in the old school bldg upstairs, and he remembered seeing the Old Outhouses even though they were no longer being used in his time period
