When I lived on 1st Avenue and attended Central Primary we were told not to go to the old high school next to the clock tower. So the first chance I got to sneak around the school crossing guard, I went into the school. It was wide open. Nothing of interest. I noticed that the door to the clock was unlocked. I opened it and looked inside. I didn't go in that day, but I mentioned it to my first grade comrade who lived on 3rd St just a hundred yards from the tower. He said it was left open a lot and they had played in it before, but it had bats. So some time later he and his older brother and I toured the tower, examined the old clockworks, etc. It was great.
