ip for six years before I entered the Jr.-Sr. High School. The building I am currently in houses grades 7-12 and opened in 1929 with 26 classrooms, alibrary, gym and auditorium, but with many new housing developments throughout the township, it is so crowded that we have classes in the basement as well as in a neighboring township fire company. Two years ago they started to build a new Senior High School to house grades 9-12 and eventually the school I am now in will be the Jr. High. Can hardly wait. For two years I have had my homeroom in the basement of the school in the cafeteria. I did not have a locker to keep my books and jacket in, so I had to carry everything with me from class to class. I did learn how to manage what I carried to school everyday, so I wasn't loaded with more than necessary. On days when I had gym class I had the added weight of a gym bag with my uniform and towel in it. Last year, in my first year at the school, I had the extra burden of facing the upperclassmen everyday on the school bus and in the halls of the school. The upperclassmen had lockers in the hallway and seemed to always make trouble for the 7th graders, knocking their books out of their hands whenever they could. On days when I had music class, I had to leave the school with my jacket and all my books, walk a block, cross a busy road and enter the Neffsville Fire Company. My class was held on the second floor of the fire hall. Glad I only had music one time a week. Well, it's time to say good-bye to all the memories, bad and good, that I had in the MT Jr.-Sr. High School. I'll be entering a new era next year and will be in the first graduating class that will have spent four years in the new MTHS. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

The "Things You Never Forget About School" Story
It was an ordinary day. Tomorrow is the last day of school for the year and next year I will get to go to a brand new building when I enter my freshman year of high school. I have been in this building for two years now and am ready to move on. I went to Brecht Elementary in the southern end of Manheim Township for six years before I entered the Jr.-Sr. High School. The building I am currently in houses grades 7-12 and opened in 1929 with 26 classrooms, alibrary, gym and auditorium, but with many new housing developments throughout the township, it is so crowded that we have classes in the basement as well as in a neighboring township fire company.
