MISCELLANEOUS
Have you noticed that the hallway doors to the 60s and 80s hallways have been left open during both lunches this year? It was done to help students get to their lockers, see teachers, and be able to get to the other side without having to walk all the way around the building. But lately, many students have been disturbing classes that are in session; banging on doors, yelling in the halls, etc. If this continues, the hallways will be closed and no students will be allowed to go through. So, please make sure that you exit the hallways as quickly as possible during lunch, and are as quiet as possible. We want to make sure that those doors remain open!

From wikipedia:
Eddie James "Son" House, Jr. (March 21, 1902 – October 19, 1988) was an American blues singer and guitarist. House pioneered an innovative style featuring strong, repetitive rhythms, often played with the aid of slide guitar, and his singing often incorporated elements of southern gospel and spiritual music.

House was an important influence on Muddy Waters and also on Robert Johnson. A seminal Delta blues figure, he remains influential today, with his music being covered by blues-rock groups such as The White Stripes.

Listen to Son House perform "My Black Mama, Part 1," recorded in 1930 and presented free by the Internet Archive.
