Our Tlace And there it stood — at the east end of the two-lane Main Street, behind the pine trees that surrounded the stadium fence. It was the place where we spent nine hours a day, 180 days a year, for six years. It was our place. We called it Mountie Country. The 42 year-old building slowly deteriorated, but the spirit within made us proud. One thousand and three students filled the 46 classrooms. There were 62 faculty members, 9 cafeteria workers, 2 secretaries, and 10 custodians. Our town of 6,670 was Frostburg. Residents always supported us by buying everything from candles to bumper stickers. We were a one-school town, and although the mountains hid us from the city lights, we were the envy of those around us. Teenagers from ’Coney, Westernport, and even Meyersdale came to socialize with us. It was a casual place. Not much change a lifestyle we chose to live by. The closeness of neighbors, the experience of learning, and the attitude of the town all pointed to a year that said you had to be in our place.
