Main Hall

For those of who who think the renovation was done by some dillusional architect..maybe. More often than not, this is the kind of stuff that happens when an architect is NOT involved.

Door

In my days ('84-'85, this was a confessional. It was under a stairwell outside the chapel.

I went to SJS in '84. Interesting story re: this shot. The room/suite seen in this photo in themiddle of the hall on the right was where the Director (a priest) slept. When you entered from the hallway, there was a little "living room" area, for want of a better term, where he had a lounge chair & TV, a few bookcases & such, and beyond that was his bedroom. Anyway, he told me that one night he was reading late at night w/ the door to the hallway open. He saw a black hooded figure pass his doorway, stopping at his door to say "peace," then kept going.

Stairwell

In my days at SJS ('84), the barber shop under the stairs had been converted into a confessional.

Curtain Thing

When I went to Salesian in '84, the third floor was not used as a dormitory for seminarians. It was used occasionally, to house retreatants for weekend retreats for boys. The curtained off area was for whomever was pulling chaperone duty, sometimes a priest, or a brother, or a seminarian from the major seminary in Newton, NJ. Most of the time, though, the 3rd floor was uninhabited. Sometimes, if one of us got in trouble, we were sent to sleep up there as a punishment. Alone.
