Lots of fond memories from that old classy brick structure with the pillars, and archways. Our beloved gym teacher, Jan Vitell, who passed away unexpectedly a few years after graduation at the age of 30, is still remembered and missed. <br /><br />Just before graduation in 1972, classmates climbed on the roof of the main building and tossed 100's of streamers of TP down to the ground and through the trees. It was really quite decorative and pretty, but not much appreciated by the principal!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604067435932169140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-72790420794989213172019-12-03T20:19:42.356-08:002019-12-03T20:19:42.356-08:00I was in the 1972 graduating class at El Dorado Hi...I was in the 1972 graduating class at El Dorado High.

Oh, the memories - like passing out from the heat and menstrual cramps on the 2nd floor of that building during summer school 1969, the summer before my freshman year!<br />Yes - lots of memories from there!Lorlorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691969936317200156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-66714581407354628402010-08-19T09:25:45.173-07:002010-08-19T09:25:45.173-07:00What a timely and interesting post!

Poor kids, and college students too. That alone makes me consider some kind of alternative or home school when I become a parent, it's really important that children get to enjoy life and summer! Now, if the kids are going to one of those cool old-fashioned schoolhouses, different story, maybe it would be way cooler! <br /><br />I loved learning about the high school. I went to El Dorado too, of course, and I had always heard about the old one on Clay Street; it was fascinating to see the old photo, makes my imagination wander to think of being a young lady around the turn of the century and walking up Main Street and turning left on Clay to go to classes!moonshinejunkyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401889178583608877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-35649634574654258632010-08-18T12:07:21.084-07:002010-08-18T12:07:21.084-07:00love old photos and i also agree - no school til a...love old photos and i also agree - no school til after labor day!!!! oh well - guess i am an old stick in the mud.yosemite faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01099881025316197608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-26241897797578914062010-08-18T08:11:12.305-07:002010-08-18T08:11:12.305-07:00What a fascinating (school) lesson, and trip back ...What a fascinating (school) lesson, and trip back through time! I always LOVE the old photos.<br />And I remain ever grateful that I never had to start school until September was here.<br />It's just wrong to go back in August.<br />SO wrong.Heidi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666588441951832108noreply@blogger.com
