Tiny pieces of glass from the Island school site have prompted a former student to recall a possible use for them: small windows positioned high in the school’s bathrooms.
The material was discussed by MSU Campus Archaeology, which reported that a visitor was invited to see the glass pieces at the site. The visitor had attended the school from 1946 to 1955 and said the fragments brought back memories of windows located high on the bathroom walls.
According to the recollection, those windows allowed light to enter the rooms. The account does not establish that the glass pieces came from the bathroom windows, but it provides a possible connection between the archaeological material and a feature remembered from the school’s operation.
The visit also offered the former student an opportunity to return to the site and reflect on the school. Beyond that personal recollection, the available report provides no identification, dating, measurements, or further analysis of the glass.
