As I walked through the front doorway, I was immediately propelled 40 years into the past. The first thing that I saw was our cafeteria that brought back memories of those Thursday lunches; they were the best! I could almost see Jimmy Ahern, sitting with his buddies at a table, sucking down one of those Jello squares during the famous Jello eating contest!

The mirrors aren’t there anymore – that area is now the entrance way to the new building (addition). The Auditorium is still the same. I vividly remembered sitting in one of the middle rows with my homeroom classmates our senior year.

The gym locker room rekindled my memory of having to wear those “distinctive” green gym uniforms; I think we had to buy them at Jobbers Outlet.

Walking down the hallways I noticed the lockers are still there and I found myself trying to remember which of our teachers occupied which classroom as I walked past them. The phone booth is gone, as are the sewing and cooking rooms.

Walking down the glassed-in front hallway was a trip – it’s still as hot as it was back then! The best part of the tour for me was going into the “forbidden” office area. It was one of those places that, as a student, you never wanted to go; for me, it was very impressive seeing it for the first time.

I would highly recommend the tour to all of our classmates: it was fun!
