  • From Robert L. Bleecker, Jr. regarding the larger of the two auxiliary buildings (in the foreground): One of the metal buildings that used to sit on a large pad just West of the PAR was purchased by Toole County School District number 14 and put to use as the Vocational/Agricultural building to the North of Shelby High School in Shelby, Mt...my old Alma Mater, as it were. The art rooms, wood and auto shops as well as the band rooms are now housed in this metal building. It is about...75 ft wide by 150 ft long if my guess is correct.
