In my senior year I have acted as a TA for Mr. Basilone cleaning out over 30 years of miscellaneous supplies and earlier from the prior teacher. While a large majority is either trash, genuine supplies, or just various screws and bolts, a few gems have emerged. One of the most interesting finds was a box of kodak film slides from May of 1988. I have very little context for any of the slides, save materials that are still present in the room today, but I was instantly captivated by them. From the similar work that is done in the same classroom, to the clothes, and mannerisms, this snapshot in time became an instant fascination and I felt compelled to share it.
