Neither of the buildings I attended school in Ames still exist.
Welch Jr High is gone.
Ames High School is still on the same site, but they tore down the building I went to school in.
The school I attended in Nevada, Iowa for 5th and 6th grade, Milford, is still there, but it's a house now.
Oddly the school in Bolingbrook, Illinois I attended from K to 4th grade is still there. I was there on day one when Wood View Elementary opened.
The schools I went to in Blaine, Minnesota for 9th and 10th grade are both still there.
The university that I graduated from is both out of business and the building is gone.
I'm not old enough for the world to have changed this much!
The building I went to kindergarten at in 1957 is still there but now it's a playground and city park. The elementary school I spent one year at is still there. The private school I went 2nd through 6th grades is still there. The middle school and high schools are still there. Even though it's Florida, none of these schools were air conditioned at the time i attended. After my time in the army, I went 2 years to a junior college and two years at USF and both schools are still there. I guess Iowans and Minnesotans are harder on schools than us Floridians. -Marv
