Talk:South High School (Minnesota)

message: I'm a little suspicious of the claim that the current South High building was constructed to be a "fortress". The 1970 Kent State shootings aren't terribly relevant to the building, as the building was begun in 1968 and designed sometime before. There were a lot of buildings of the time that were built in a similar warehouse-like style, office buildings, apartments and schools.
Are there any references from 1968 which state that this was built to be a fortress?--RLent 19:08, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Kent State shootings aren't exactly relevant, but it's an example of something that was going on at the time that was a sign of the times. You can change it if you like. The sources for the history were old, old documents I found in the Minneapolis Central Public Library in 2002, I don't remember if the source specifically called it a "fortress" (though I think it did.) Feel free to make changes as you see fit, but I think the basic concept of that section is correct.  Grandmasterka 00:01, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I found this from the Star Tribune. I think it backs up the statement nicely. Eóin (talk) 23:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

A joke, of course. this page has been vandalized numerous times by the IP address that added that. Grandmasterka 06:02, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be a section about theater at South? The theater program at South is pretty notable, and extremely prolific... *gleams*
:If a section of the Theater department is included, a section about the Music program should also be there. I was a total band geek when I was at SHS.--209.98.138.62 (talk) 07:38, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

message: In the first week of October, 2007, a student organized protest of the administration's "Star Room" tardy policy was held in which about 200 students refused to go to class after first hour.
:I was there, I am a senior at South High School, and it was at LEAST 500 people. Where does the number 200 come from?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.103.15.191 (talk) 03:11, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Please, if there is no source for the number I will fix it. If there's a source, please let me know.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.164.108 (talk) 00:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Found some old images from the Minnesota Historical Society. I don't know exactly what pictures show what, so I'm leaving them here so a more knowledgeable person to place them. This page also has some photos but I can't tell their copyright status right now.  Eóin (talk) 22:32, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The history section is completely unsourced and has been tagged  for nearly 6 years. II reads as if it was copied from somewhere. I strongly suggest that someone with knowledge of this school clean this up. If not I will do so and anything I cannot find a reliable source for will be removed.
