We were there.


Last July, Lucretia Bace Hogan and her husband, Ed, took a photographic tour of our Alma Mater and were kind enough to send me a CD containing all that they were able to capture. Lou said that most of the school was locked up - summer recess - but, someone, who was working in a food bank pantry operating out of the old coat room in the lobby, let them come in to see the gym and look around.
                                                                                                                                                                              Above, is where many a b-ball game, intramural, dance, and Friday morning assembly took place. The play, "Who Dunit", almost happened here and who could ever forget those manly Fa-la-la-la-la,et cetera carolers who once strutted and fretted their five minutes upon the stage and were heard no more.

It also includes a few items from Lou's private collection of HTHS memorabilia. Double click the photos for captions and comments, or, click the slide show link on the upper right of the Flickr page for even larger viewing. After checking out all of the photos you can use the comment link below to post your own recollections about our mutual home away from home for four years. Do any of you have photos or memorabilia from those halcyon days that you might like to share? Let me know at the email address in the upper right of the blog.

Charlie just sent me the link, and I was happy to see the photos, especially of the buildings. I assume that the area looks different today.
