Alma Mdfcr HERE is a definite personality that will forever hover around that group of three buildings which is Main Avenue High School. There are characteristics and lovable peculiarities to every square foot of them that will never be forgotten. The nucleus- the second building! The old board steps, worn with the tramp from class to class into little hollows, are reeking with memories. Even the pools of water that had to be crossed on a long plank during wet weather can be remembered with pleasure now that our feet are nice and dry. In that building are the study halls and the library remember? Close to it, and connected by the memorable bridge from which you threw apple-cores at the janitor or under which you read the bulletin boards of the clubs, you will remember the first building. Beautiful and imposing, it has more memories of socials than classes. The big front hall with its checkerboard stone floor still wears the scratches made when you danced on it. Branching off it are the office with its “mourners bench”, the roomy auditorium where you have laughed, intently listened, or yawned, and the Museum, palace of freaks. Upstairs is that eternal sanctum and sanctuary -Mother Eleven
