"No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks..."

'School's Out' by Alice Cooper.

At 8,369 feet above sea level, Bodie boasted the "Highest School in California.” The first public school opened in March of 1878.The original school building had a short life. A student who hated school burned it down. The second schoolhouse, which still stands today, began as the Bon Ton Lodging House. For 64 years the sounds of school activities could be heard coming through the cracks of the two-story structure. During its boom, the Bodie School District had 615 enrolled students! At that time, daily attendance was poor. Only about 117 students attended school each day
Taken in the ghost town of Bodie, California, USA.

The old filament light bulb through the window of the Boone Store in the ghost town of Bodie, California, USA.
The 1879 building was owned by Harvey Boone, a direct descendant of Daniel Boone.

" Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find
Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
Tell me what will I find
Oh, heaven let your light shine down..."
