Reply #55: Going broke... (funny & sad story)

[hopein08]

my high school went broke and had to take donations of yellow computer paper from the local paper plant b/c the school was out of paper! We also had a neat experiment with substituting bags of milk instead of those little cartons of milk at lunch. To many people would step on them and explode them so that didn't last long. Oh, and the Health Department condemned the lunch trays my senior year but a renovation was scheduled for the next year so it was okay. The renovators ran out of money and couldn't finish the roof, don't know what happened with the trays. Once, during a heavy rain storm, all second floor classes were moved to the first floor because they were worried the roof would fall in.

I was class of 2000 at Iroquois High School in Erie, PA.
