News: High School Ceiling Collapses

[Dalton]

If/when you were in high school, I'm sure you must have had the same thoughts. "I hope the school blows up" "I hope the school catches fire" "I hope it's closed, I have a big test tomorrow", etc. etc. etc.

Ceiling Collapses

Oddly enough, not long ago a fire gutted the guidance office.

And yes, this was the high school I went to for six years (it was grade 7-12).

That's no cool.

Around here, the gym of a high school collapsed in a big storm (it was getting old and scheduled for renovation, that just speeded up things) a few years ago.

And in the 1980s some idiot kid decided not to duck and cover in a tornado alert. The teacher was chasing him around - and the tornado hit, killing them both (The county takes drills very seriously nowadays)

Incredible, considering I'm posting from my HS right now. However, nothing like that has happened (The closest to a disaster I've ever seen at my school aws a power outage).

That sucks. I wonder if they'll find that the building isn't up to code.

In elementary school, we had fire drills, tornado drills, and we even had one or two air raid drills when I was in kindergarten-1st grade. How's that for old school? Kindergarten for me was '72-'73, BTW.

Yow..

Some kid in my Junior High torched the Leadership classroom, which destroyed the yearbook work that was done. It was an amazing amount of damage for such a short fire.

Whoa, he nuked the yearbook? What a dick...

Being a mature and responsible adult, I have to say that that's a horrible tragedy, and it's a good thing that nobody got seriously injured.

But if I went to that high school, I would think that totally rocked. Seriously, I would have a hard time stopping the celebration.
My stupid high school never had anything good like that happen. One time there was a bomb threat, and me and a bunch of people (myself included) decided to go home instead of going back to class when it was over. That kicked ass.
The worst thing to happen was when there was a bomb threat this one time and people didn't decide to go home, but rather to go back to class. That was totally lame.

*sigh* Back to being a mature and responsible adult...

Funny

Yeah, the entire building smelled like charred paper for the next two years.
The yearbook was no big loss, really. When it did come out they misspelled my name- "Wayne" became "Harne" somehow. You know that when the Leadership class is in charge of it, you see all the Leadership class and their friends throughout the book. Never anyone YOU'VE hung out with.

Harne Poe, lol

Yeah, I know what you mean. The staff for my yearbook consisted almost entirely of the popular advanced-class students. There was actually a pic or two of me in it aside from my photo, but not many non-advanced students made it.

Wow. And nobody got seriously injured, either. Now all I need is for an unfortunate construction accident at my school...(they're in the middle of building a new science wing).
