I think Iceberg and KJ have good theories.

Gosh, I've missed about three galleries (my moher died). Wonderful photo of the building and lightning bolt. Thanks for providing text history and photos.

Theeere's Hydrogen and Helium, Beryllium and Lithium, I can't read any more for you because the ceiling's caving in...

Anyone else thinking of the Tom Lehrer Element song?

That chair looks so comfortable

Ah Ha!!! This explains the mattress in the last picture. Here is where the graduation "final exams" took place.

So, no one is going to ask why there is a bed mattress in front of the chair in the science room?

I DON'T WANNA BE AN ADULT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been a while since one of the photo titles cracked me up like this one did.

Taking a brief pause in snack time now. . .

Dig the groovy Lime walls! Looks like this is the only room where someone started packing / organizing stuff. The books throughout look like they may have been quite old / out of date / heavily annotated.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and suggest that the seating was color coded for the different tithing levels. ie, Pewter level tithers are in the back standing, tin level slightly closer in the last row of seats, up to platinum level, whom are seated at the piano's.

LOL Mica!

@moogy My first Huffy bike was blue, too. For some reason, I still remember the name on it being "Lone Star." Would've been the late 70's. Loved that bike....

Looks like Pat & Craig had a less than stellar day...

In my experience one always leave thinking one is coming back when places like this are closed.
