Old School
Here’s the 1936 High School Auditorium in Cambridge.
On the grounds of the old auditorium are two separate monuments recognizing two previous school buildings (1881 and 1917).
I’m glad they’ve saved the cornerstones to the old buildings, because that’s history, but when you put them all together, this block just seemed like a graveyard for schools. Having grown up in a town (Pawnee Rock) that lost its own high school in 1972, I feel the pain.
Across the street, what looks like an old school building is now the senior citizens center - very revealing of the aging population of rural Kansas.
