Another piece of OA history made it back into the halls of 1 North Pearl St. Keith Gilbert stopped by my office this past week with this gem and a great story behind it.
When the final move out of the old school took place, current high school students were hired to do some of the moving of items to the new school. Keith was one of them. He said local parents and farmers chipped in with pick up trucks, farm trucks and trailers.
Along with getting a few bucks, each student could pick out one thing to keep and Keith grabbed an old Chemistry set. It was in a wooden box complete with beakers, test tubes, Bunsen Burners, etc..
Through the years various pieces broke or came up missing and the pictured Bunsen Burner is the last surviving piece from the set.
The accompanying photo displayed outside of apartment 304, where the Chemistry room was located is from a 1940's era Oracle.
That very piece of equipment could be in the picture!
Thank you Keith for the piece of history and some more Oracles to add to in-house collection.

Next time you are enjoying a great meal at Caryville Inn, check out this piece of local history. The photo of the old Oakfield High School from 1947 is framed in one of the original classroom door transoms from 1926.
It is placed next to a historical photo of the Cary Seminary which occupied the space where the old high school and now School House Manor stands.
Thank you Caryville Inn for all you do for our community.
