Returning on my own tracks back towards the main stairway.
Old biology and calculus books in addition to an energy quiz.
An assignment too familiar. The poor pupil had to read a book and answer questions in the role of the main character of this book. I hated assignments like this.
The corridor led to the upstairs lobby through metallic double doors.
Another feature I so love in 1960’s buildings: the use of light.
Contrary to my usual way of exploring, I started from the top this time. This is a classroom on the second floor.
The front part of the same classroom again facing the highway.
If it wasn’t to the skylights, the second floor would have been pretty dark thanks to the boarded up windows.
A lobby on the second floor. Another corridor with classrooms starts here.
I think the glass tiled wall hides another set of stairs. That was a distinct feature of this building.
At the end of the second floor corridor was a small lobby. And behind that was the space, which functioned both as an assembly hall and a gym.
In the era when they built this school, they still built scenes in the gyms. This feature was gone by the early 1970’s, but I rather like it. Another strange feature of the school is, that the scene was on the long wall of the gym.
There was even a small balcony for spectators. Notice yet another destroyed brick wall.
That cave may have been a storage for sports equipment. I also noticed two different kinds of benches here. Wonder, which are the original.
Look at all the things they’ve played basketball with.
Only now did I notice, that the floor was wooden under all thrash and dirt.
