That's so like my old school's theater it's downright unsettling. Lot of very old memories in the corners of my mind.

What were the titles of the textbooks? Were there any tiled "Faith Alive"?

@feather - yes they do. I went to a low-budget private Christian school until 5th grade. 2 pledges every day; one for American flag, one for the Christian flag. Two selected students per day unfolded/raised and lowered/folded the American flag flown on the pole outside the school. I still remember when it was my turn.

So many thoughts running through my mind looking at that chalkboard. Did the teacher and class know this was the last day or was it a surprise? (I assume at least the teacher knew) How do you keep order and study focus on a day like that? And in what kind of crying hurry do you have to leave that the chalkboard isn't erased?!

It wasn't too bad except for the heating - old-a$$ steam radiators that worked half the time you wanted them to and half the time you DIDN'T want them to.

The abandoned chair, the graffiti, and the angle of the hall all make for a supremely creepy atmosphere.

Astounding that the design lights the rooms as intended even after zero maintenance for so long.

And what's that arrow pointing toward?

" the shadowy apparition in the center of the hallway is a result of shining the light while walking away from the camera during a long exposure."

...sure...yeah, let's go with that.

I...don't have quite the words to describe my feelings for this.

'Sad' is totally inadequate. 'Depressing' doesn't quite fit. But I do know that seeing their faces (plus your info about next-of-kin contact) is definitely more heartwrenching than the glasses graveyard.

And someone needs to be facing a massive lawsuit for leaving so much confidential information literally lying on the floor.
