During a cold winter wind storm you could watch these windows breathe never breaking until vandals

The altar @ the Lourdes Grotto in my time [62-66], was not used for Mass, however we had May devotions out there for Mary Help of Christians as well as the Corpus Christi procession in June.
If I recall the outlet was for the amp used for the mics etc.
Under the altar was a Christmas infant Jesus (white outside material) that matched OL Lourdes, Bernadette and the angels that have been removed.
At summer camp, they may have used it more.
There was a below ground cistern that allowed water to run down the rocks below Mary just like in France.

The middle room over the main door was Father Adam Saluppo who was ran the library and steady confessor. He was a touch of reality whenever I needed it.

The door is open to the Director's Office.
"Director" used to be etched in black on a white frosted glass on the door.

By 1964 this was the Chem/Physics lab (opposite the pool room) alternating on a 2 year cycle. Dave Goris taught Chem. (64/65) Tony Smalldone taught Physics (65/66).
I remember when John Incorvaia had the Bromine experiment explode. Then we knew why there were safety goggles.

We set the desk on the very edge of the platflorm. When Bro. Terry Sheehy dropped his books. the desk when flying. He wasn't phased in the least!

More like a "gay"diator, ZING! Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The tower was a bell tower the building was also a chapel for funerals for those interred there. The bell is still in the tower. A friend of mine toured this building recently when the caretaker showed him around. There is talk of MAYBE opening this up for one day for the public to see.

Okay making notes, NO worshipping lava lamps, altars, Dr. Sketch, electrical oulets or caves.
