Hail to the Red and Blue!

Yesterday Jason, his sister Stephanie, and I stopped at my beloved high school, Davenport Central. It was really neat to walk through the relatively empty hallways and see how the school has changed. Mr. Wells, and old science teacher was there and showed us where they found a time capsule from 1905 when the school was being built during some renovation. There were some neat things there, it was really amazing! I love those sandstone pillars in the front and the character and history my high school has. Some of the crazy politicians in the town (West High graduates mostly) have tried to rebuild the school and tear down the existing building a few times, and the city vote has always overwhelmingly turned it down. As we were walking down to the 2nd floor (the school is built on a hill, 6 stories) towards my favorite place, George Marshall Gymnasium I found the most amazing thing! They have build a practice gym next to the main gym with three beautiful full sized courts. It was the most wonderful thing, almost brought tears to my eyes! :) The Blue Devils deserve that! The old small gym has been converted to a weight/cardio room and looked great! We went to look for my favorite chemistry teacher and found that his room has been upgraded quite a bit; the pealing ceiling and the old wooden chairs that were on the old risers before (it was the orchestra room way back in the day) had been replaced with some nice stuff. It was just an awesome trip I was happy to see so many changes and glad to see that some things still remained the same. It is definitely a very different school then it was when I first attended there in 1998. I loved all four years of high school! Hail to the red and blue! Go Devils!
