Such children, I graduated from East Central in 1970.............. only went there my senior year. Was at McLain my sophomore and Junior years.
I would get the floors mixed up. I once thought I was on the 5th floor for a class. Class started and I realized I was in the wrong class. I was on the 4th floor. Oooops...............
With no windows in it the place felt like a prison. It wasn't helped by the fact that when freshmen started going to the high schools (1984 I think) the school's attendance jumped to about 2100. I remember the east wing of floor 2 (which was actually the ground floor). I had junior A & M History and Senior english in that wing. It was weird. A hall in a circle with rooms on either side of the hall, then the stairway on the east side of the wing leading out to the field (back then the stadium didn't exist; the school had a HUGE parking lot on the east side of it). Then the industrial wing (west). Electrical, shop, drafting was over there. I remember Driver Ed being in the basement (floor 1) underneath that east second floor wing, but you accessed it by going out the east stairs, walking south along the building until you got to the end, then turning west and taking a door that led to a half-flight of stairs down. The phys ed offices were down there also.
