Treasures from the Dumpster


On my Sunday morning walk today I made what to a nerd is an incredible dumpster-dive find. St. Helen's Catholic School was throwing out boxes and boxes of educational films, film strips, school books and school records (including some hilarious yearbooks!). I ran home to get my car and then dumped a bunch of what looked like the best stuff into my trunk. Like "Drugs in Our Society" a six-part educational film strip with accompanying 33 rpm records, or film strips on "The Wonders of Nature" and "The Gold of Tutankhamon." I don't know yet how to project these things, but once I figure it out, I have a feeling I will discover some pretty amazing material in here.
