The old auditorium, as many of you know is located in what is now the Library. This is a picture of some students gathered in the auditorium. You can see the old balcony as well around the top of the room. The floor is at a slant so that everyone could see the stage.
This photo is from the 1914 yearbook, I believe. I love that the ceiling of the room still looks the same--even the light fixtures appear to be the same. People who graduated from BHS up through the mid 1980s have told me that this room was used as the auditorium until that time, when the addition was built with our current auditorium. With the high ceilings and huge windows, this is a grand room. When I think about the demolition of the 1914 building, it makes me sad that this room will no longer exist.
ReplyDeleteThis is something that I have heard about all through high school. I'm really glad that I finally get to see what the auditorium looked like! Very cool!
