Were you there?

Were you among the crowd when Morenci’s high school was torn down? I must have been off to college. I suppose this was done around 1970. The school was built in 1907.
This was from the era of tight jeans, maybe before bell-bottoms made it to small-town Michigan.
Somehow I attended classes in this building for six years and never was in the right room during a fire drill. I never had the chance to ride the big slide fire escape. It’s not visible in this photo.


I have heard that you didn’t want to be the first one to hit that door at the bottom. Mr Pobanz says it hurts like all heck
