As George Bernard Shaw said "There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.” 

 This building and this student are examples of that quote...

Ah Edith, why, by the looks of your bath robe it appears as if you’ve been hibernating in that dilapidated building!

Lastly we have Jessica Alden, the mother figure of the self-identified gang known as the Boxcar Children. They’ve been living here for years, no one dares enter.

Students, the scene presented here is none other than the infamous "Carrie"; and the carnage left in her wake.  As we discussed in lecture, not ALL of Stephen King's works are of a fictional nature.

Just look! We're so avant garde at Herron, we were doing dilapidation and wartime-ruin a whole year before the depression started, and a whole decade before the rest of the world was into it...
