I like how people did their gaffiti on the chalk board... Heck of a lot nicer than using spray paint.

You, I like.

They must have left some chalk behind, for this to happen. Your average person doesn't usually carry it around with them.

Now let's look for an eraser.

COULD this be the infamous chalkboard where Pat Bierlein ducked away from a roundhouse right from Fr. Don Z.???

InSaNeBoY yea there no spray paint there but in tha bulidin u'll see lots of nazi sings

Hey Anthony, why do the nazi's sing there?

Do they have musicals in the summer?

"Springtime for Hitler"

Ha, Ouroboris, I almost said that when I saw the comments! 8`-)

LOL...once again, you all are too funny.

I think that this is actually where the chalkboard used to be. See the weird linear and cross patterns amongst the graffeti? That is the glue where it was stuck to the wall.

Amazing that I have stumbled on this site. If this is the chalkboard in the Study Hall - I, along with Terry Donovan, and the whole student body, at the time, were studying in this room on the afternoon of 11/22/63 when we were informed that JFK had been assassinated. I and my class were freshman and had been at the school only since September. I remember looking over at Eddie Balint at that moment, sitting at his desk, a pretty tough kid, and seeing him cry. Many, many fond memories of this once pristine, well cared for, happy school and community. I "visited" the site myself some years ago and it was like seeing the once majestic Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic. Terry, if you are still out there let me know. Did you know that Pat's name is on The Wall?

Hmmm. With those glue patterns on the board, it's quite possible that one chalkboard, or maybe a whiteboard that since has gone missing, was (for whatever reason) glued on top of this one. Why I think this is because back when I was a sophomore in high school (eight years ago) they switched from blackboards to whiteboards and just glued the latter onto the already-present former. We all wrote our names and such on the board before they came to put the new boards in.

This place closed before the whiteboard era.

I wrote my name on the ground to the left of this chalkboard.

Just to let people know, i was the last person to get into this school. I used an old rusty ladder to get to the roof. when we were up there , it was crazzy.

this place is truly amazing! i have so many stories from it!
it's insanely haunted!
and now..unfortunately...patrolled...I got arrested for trespassing there a few years ago :(

Tim you were not the last one there, I've been in a few times over the summer. Recently some kids were arrested for trespassing here as well.

they have a chalkboard like this in gaeblers, i came across it the last time i was up there. unfortunetly i had no chalk. ):

there was chalk in there, i signed the board bottom right corner STZ

i like when people share there stories of going to this school it really adds to how amazing this is

Just a side note:

I often take chalk when I go into abandoned places... I will use it to mark where I have been and try to leave behind inconspicious markings to warn others if areas are unsafe by using different colored chalk to mark my path.
