Actually this was the senior classroom. The cabinets behind the classroom held all the textbooks that were used for instruction (bookstore).

I remember the films that had the audio on records. The nuns could never get it in sync with the video...and...sometimes the record skipped. I have very fond memories of those films. Don't remember a heck of what they were about, but it was fun watching them. LOL

My German teacher in high school (early 80's) used to show us films that went with the record too. Always just a second or two out of synch as well.

Wow, where i live all this stuff would have been stolen in the blink of an eye, the walls would be home for graffiti, and the windows would all be broken out, but thats just what i think.

I would think that before they either renovate or demolish the building, they'd do something about those books and films. Like maybe an auction of some sort that would generate some sort of funding towards something.

I am impressed that this place was so multi-media enriched. It seems like they actually cared about the children's education here.

I went to the building many times last summer (because I live in Goshen right near the school) and I have to say that now it is much more difficult to get in the building because of the building being gutted and renovated...its sad to see them demolish the building.

PS--the reason it closed was the lack of enrollment...although many people like to attribute it to the death of Paul Ramos

There are some pretty neat, outdated texts in that room... but most are all moldy and warped, and useless.

No way, Sue. The school closed about 20 years after the death of Paul Ramos.

Back in grade school, we had "filmstrips" that went with a record, the record "beeped" for the teacher to turn the filmstrip to the next frame.

This looks like a corner shot of the room where the Brorthers studied and preparted classes next to FatherDon/Earl's office on the 2nd floor. [except the rookie brother who had study hall]
All our books were stored in there over the summer. It was Father Don that ordered up to date math books and Father Earl purchased a fantastic English/Literature series.
The most precious book was Father Justen's VERGIL text. It had years of pencil notations [vocabulary help] and told where he would pause for a joke.
One year @ Goshen we had a dog who the Seniors named DIDO!

How sad :(

it is very sad to see your old alma mater in such adeplorable condition. I enjoyed many wonderful years from 1942 to 1945 at this school. my wish is to someday be able to visit it.I REMEMBER THE CONSTRUCTION OF OUR BEAUTIFUL GROTTO.

I found a Gone With The Wind biography in this room, which i kept and read. I was alone and only had a cellphone to light my way through the darkness. Creepy place indeed.
