I started eighth grade there the year it opened. It was a big downer after being in the high school for a year. It was really crowded, too. We all hated having to go over to the high school in the rain and cold to eat. The Jr. High had been closed by the time my kids were old enough for 7th grade.

I didn't attend the Jr. High. The Jr High was still in the old building.

I've never heard anything about the "new" Junior High, one way or the other.

Anne,

Yes, I went to MHHS Jr. High too. The only movie I ever saw was White Christmas, and I didn't know it was the bus drivers who put the event together. My bus driver was so mean, he owed it to us, I will tell you that!

I guess they rented the Paramount because they decided it would be better than giving us all oranges and candy like the grade school kids. Smiler We had a nice bus driver, his name was Mr. Decker. My kids and grandkids had a good bus driver, too. His name is Paul Becker, I think he is still driving a bus for the grade school route.

Anne-

For some reason, I don't recall having to go to the high school to get lunch. Ever. Each lunchtime, I would be in the gym dancing at the noon sockhop. I danced all lunch-about 45 minutes. I didn't eat. I danced! I also got in trouble for "dirty dancing" and had to go before the student council for it. Smiler

We had Mr. Gold for a bus driver. Not a nice man in my opinion. He left my little sister behind in a blizzard and she could have been killed walking down St. Highway 67 trying to get home. My mom didn't drive and ran out in the blizzard to find her. He also moved the bus while we were at the movie so kids didn't find it on time. I was one left behind. He was good at that.

I think I've said this before..forget. There were two Gold brothers who drove busses at MH. They owned Gold's Cabinet Shop on Mounds Rd. One of the daughters just passed away a week or so ago.

At least the first year there was no cafeteria in the junior high so if you ate you walked across to the high school. We had 20 minutes for lunch. The year I was at the junior high they were really strict and I don't remember being able to dance in the gym at all. When the school year started I had two classes with no desks and one with no blackboards. That was fixed quickly. The windows would not open and it was really hot and the worst thing then was that we had to share lockers and they were the half size ones. Seems silly now, but then those were all major problems.

If we could just have those problems back, I would be willing to trade, how about you? Wink

I did not go to a Madison County School but my tax dollars support them and I hate to see the shape they are in, it is sad for the kids, and our future. Frowner

If I could have those problems and keep my more mature attitude that would be great. Don't want to go back to all the drama teenagers have. Wink

I read in another thread that this site will close in a couple days? Any suggestions on where to go from here? Not being physically in Anderson, I feel kinda "Out of the loop."

[me]

Some of us here still live in Anderson. 

[me]

Just had a thought.  You could check into getting your own spot and start a thing in it about Anderson.  Just go here: http://theunknownzone.us/smf/index.php?board=89.0

[bats1932]

IT SURE WOULD BE NICE TO CONTINUE "BEST TIME" POSTS I REALLY ENJOYED IT. I GO BACK BOUT 4 TIMES A YEAR BUT LIVE IN DAYTONA BEACH. GRAD. AHS 59

[Gardengirl]

The thing is, am I really allowed to take that and post it here? I figured since there are mods here, they would know.

You might want to send a PM to admin and ask.  I'd say that would be the quickest way to find out and the safest. 

[Admin2]

Upon request of one of the members, we will be taking screen shots of that thread at HM and bringing them here to the Zone so that all who wish can continue the conversation, and also so the previous contributions to the conversation can be preserved.

[bld7]

No worries.  The screen shots will be posted on their own thread.
