I just started at a new school this year, because I failed at my old school the year before. I spent far too much time cutting class and generally having a fucking great time, with no real regrets.
Anyways, my new school is a big building in the middle of the central business district. It's kinda cool....It's different.
My old school was the shizzNizz though.
It was built in 1940, and served as an airbase/hospital for American servicemen during the war. It's really cool, most of the old buildings from then are still up, and a huge system of tunnels and bunkers are still located under the school, they go from the old airforce runways (Now the fields) all throughout the buildings. An old teacher of mine told me that he'd been down there before with some other teachers and students, and there are still old bedframes, blankets and random crates from the war. They've blocked up all the entryways, after too many kids were going down there to smoke and what not.
I remember there was a ghost story about an old nurse from the war hospital called 'The Blue Nurse,' she was killed by an injured soldier who had lost his nerve, and apparently she haunts the old halls of the hospital theatres (Now the science department), I heard that a couple science teachers had left their jobs there after sitting the blue nurse on many an occasion. happy:
I miss my old school.
Here is teh plan of the old school:

I just thought some of you might be interested as it was an airbase/hospital for American Servicemen.
There is a tiny paragraph just proving the above here:
