1st floor were the Science class-rooms and band room. In mid-80's Bro. Jim Mara had us all raise small pets (snakes, Guinea Pigs, etc). There was a really old priest named Fr. Moskal (Earth Science) who would pour Mercury (highly toxic) out of a bottle and have us hold it in our hands. To demonstrate a circuit he had us all join hands with one person holding the gas valve on a lab table. He would then stick his own finger in an electrical outlet.
Back behind the stage there used to be a 35MM Projection room. I remember showing "Burnt Offerings" which scared the crap out of everyone. But we all got a laugh out of the butler from same movie addressing the younger son as, "Master Bates".
I think that the class of '81 was probably the last to use 3rd floor as a dormitory. Class of '80 spent about 6 months on the 3rd floor. After that, enrollment was such that everyone fit in the 2nd floor roomettes (4 persons to a room).
