Hallway in Junion High

Old pneumatic clock
The gym was built without much acoustic dampening. I remember basketball games as being very noise affairs with the fans yelling and stamping their feet on the bleachers.
Neil Goodrich has recently died, the blackboard message bids him farewell Chemistry was one of my favorite classes. Neil Goodrich would conduct experiments for the class at this stone sink. The closet behind was chemical storage and we were not allowed in there.
This is an old steam radiator in the principal's office.
   
The roof has been leaking and the ceilings in many of the classrooms and hallways were starting to fall down.

 

Dinner was at the South Haven Yacht Club. Looks like about 45 attended. Not bad for a class of 129 (click picture for larger image)

Breakfast the following morning was at the American Legion Post with the great view they have over Black River.

What trip to South Haven would be complete without a walk out on the piers?
