| I paid a visit
to my old
high school in 2001 and found this innovative sculpture outside the
welding
shop.
It is continuing a creative tradition that I remember from my
high
school years in the 1970s. Back then, the school had just moved
into
its new building and was experimenting with an open campus.
The old high school building is still standing
as well.
It now serves as a community center, run by a non profit
organization.
On this trip, I was lucky enough to meet with a janitor, at the old
school,
who was able to explain things to me. He was proudly polishing
old
marble like floors with a shine similar to what they had in the
1930s.
Old auditorium, gym and classroom spaces are used by a wide variety of
community groups and businesses. Activities include things like
church
preschools and yoga classes. Next. From the mail I was doing a search for Pullman when I came across your great photo album. In case you were wondering about the sculpture outside the shop, it was started many years ago when some students were told to make a scale model of a welding helmet out of scrap. Over the years, students continued making various parts, but the sculpture did not come together until a senior made it his senior project in 2001. It had only been up for a few months when you rode through in August of 2001. |
