This is what I know about the S T U F from MS B. Some of the trophies from the
gymnasium trophy case went to the State Archives.Many of the Braille books were
sent overseas. The WWorld Book Encyclopedias were eventually thrown away. If I
remember correctly the band and orchestra placks that were hung in Lions Hall
went to Flint when the schools were combined.

Well I either sold or gave away my alto saxaphone, because I didn’t think I’d
be playing it much after graduation, and band was over.

Sure we are! My curosity with the trophies is that I wouldn’t want them to get
burried somewhere! I would hope that they get displayed somewhere so that
Michigan’s history of the blind isn’t lost. After all, many of us put our
brains and brawn into them.

There is a lot of history from MSB that no one knows where it went and that is
sad! We are all a part of that history also....

I'm particularily interested in trophies and such because of the history
attached to them. I got to thinking about them last night while I was thinking
about the fire at Carols Moms a couple of years ago. Virginia had a couple of
gold medals that were lost. She could get a certificate to prove she got them
but, the medals can't be replaced.

Well Larry, I too have wondered about what happend to the various properties of
MSB! I spent quite a bit of time in the library and would have liked some of
the books. I don't know about the trophies either. I am aware of state
auctions which take place several times a year, which could have included
furniture etc. Personally I do have the band metals with ribbons accumulated
through six years of band. Good question though Larry! Perhaps someone will
know as to where some of this stuff has gone.

Well, not to open the big debate of whether or not the school should have been
closed or not. It is! But, what about the smaller celebrity stuff? The trophies
that were won by our Raiders! I can see where a lot of stuff could have went
out to places to help teach others like all of the braille equipment,
instruments and all of the other stuff. And, someone could have used it! I sure
wantedd one of those piccolos! But, where did the trophies and awards go? We
had awards not only in athletics but also in band and forensics and probably in
things I don't know about! Are they on display somewhere? If we talked about
this, I must have missed something. The awards may be the only things left of
our history when we all fly out of here! Intelligence is always claimed but,
rarely proven
