Slog - Comments on Bullets Found in High-School Bathroom http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/bullets_found_in_high_school_bathroom Just after 11:00 a.m. on April 24, Seattle Police arrived at (my alma mater!) Nathan Hale High School near Lake City Way, after a male student found a clip of 22-caliber bullets in the handicapped stall of a first-floor bathroom across from room 124. According to the police report filed by Officer Outlaw (yes, that's really his real name), the item was secured and placed into evidence for fingerprint analysis. The report notes that "there is currently no information on the item's owner." After the Virginia Tech shootings just over a week ago, this incident was certainly a cause for...

Do they still tell the story there about the narc who was killed in a second floor bathroom? (Hung, IIRC.) That was back in the 70s, but I am sure the story lives on. It was certainly active in the 80s when I was there.

My high school, too - and yeah, that guy's story is still around, in several versions (along with the myths of the pool on the roof & the time the seniors somehow stuck the principle's VW Bug on top of the smoke stack).

I'm kinda surprised, NH is such a goodie-two-shoes school (didn't used to be, but is now) - and the first-floor handicapped stall? Wtf?

My favorite rumor (which I swear I had a teacher confirm at one point) was that a student died of strangulation in a bathroom stall (in the same set of bathrooms mentioned in my post btw). The school's line was that it was a suicide but speculation was that it was autoerotic asphyxiation. No shit.
I'm sure none of that's true and other high schools have similar stories (I've heard the pool-on-the-roof story about both Garfield and Rooselvet) but that one always stuck with me.

I was stuffed into a bathroom garbage can by an upperclassman when I was a freshman. I bet that story haunts the halls. Did you hear about that girl? Butt first. Sad. She lived, though.

Dang, in the early 80s it was sort of a party school.
