FHS Museum - October 22nd, 2016

Visit the FHS Museum on the Saturday after Homecoming

The original 12 grade school building had the girls gym added later

What we called the Band Hall was the auditorium/gym back in 1939

Zoom on the plaque states the school was a Public Works project back in 1939

First opened in 1939 and used until the rapid growth of the 1960s

The Band Hall has been refurbished as the Auditorium

Looking down the hallway from the Auditorium toward the Gym

The first class room is a meeting area with photos spanning 100 years

The 2nd room are momentos from the original school before 1939

The Friends Church Academy was the school until this one was built

The 3rd room has been refurbished as an elementary class room

With lockers painted on the back wall and Big Chief tablets at each desk

10 class rooms for 12 grades must have had some mixed grades

The 4th class room contains Mrs. Kennedy's musical momentos/memories

50 years of memories fills a room up pretty well

The 5th and final class room contains FHS athletic memories

Trophies, letter jackets, uniforms and other memories on display

Homecoming queen and sweetheart winners, dresses and mums

Class and team photos plus the old basketball scoreboard

Mom is glad only half the rooms are on display, the other 5 are still in work

Continue down the hallway to the Girl Gym

It is in excellent shape and used for local youth league play

Remember attending a few school dances here in the late '70s

Step inside the school grounds and view the Girls Gym from outside

The Round Building contained the 6th graders when I first attended

The Round Building rooms were locked on Saturday and used for storage

Finally step inside a Round Building classroom on a visit 3 years later

Pan around the sparsely furnished pie slice classroom

Students enter from the outside via the right side door

Step into the center of the building where a 6th grade library was

Also was a study center or where after school detention was held

Comfortable meeting room for those lucky enough to have a key

Looking in some of the other classrooms, find exercise equipment

Home economics or a cooking classes held here

Another regular classroom that looks used on occassion

Peek inside the main administration building that is open on week days
