School Tours

Jim Tustin, Class President, hosted the tours of both the old Kellogg School building from which we graduated and the new Gull Lake High School on the school campus in Richland.  Mr. Don Eastman, the current Prinicipal of Gull Lake High Schools opened the buildings and conducted the tours.  To our chagrin, Mr. Eastman told us he was born in 1968, one year before we graduated.  Talk about making you feel your age!!  Sadly the most of the old Kellogg school was torn down a few years ago.  What remains is the orginal building with the old gym and the new gym.  The stage and locker rooms are all boarded up in the old gym while the new gym remains intact.  We were not allowed in the basement or the upstairs, although a few enterprising classmates did manage to sneak up the stairs!  Our class picture finally found a home in the old Kellogg school.  We never knew what became of the original.  Our class paid for a new picture which now hangs in the hallway along with the old Kellogg HS photos and the Gull Lake classes of 1966,1967, and 1968. It takes a little while to locate as it is not with the other Gull Lake classes, but down the hall near the old principal's office.  The new high school sits amid a pretty impressive campus.  The original Richland High School (that we had as a junior high) has been built up to a much larger middle school.  The new Gull Lake High School is new and has all the modern ammenties you would expect in this day and age.  All I could think of while touring the impressive building and campus was that all we asked for when we were in high school was a parking lot that didn't require a boat to navigate!  We found evidence of our class existance in the new high school.  Plaques with the names of National Honor Society members over the years hung on the walls.  If you wanted to read the names, you needed a ladder and very good eyesight as they were hung too high for our old eyes!  However, we were impressed to see the name of Jim Anglin proudly displayed in the new Gym.  Jim Anglin still holds track records at Gull Lake!   It made for an interesting day for those who participated in the tours.
