Friends,FOTOS extends its most heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to, and participated in, the
effort to save the historic J. B. Thomas Middle School building (a.k.a. Hillsboro Union High and “The Old
School”). To view the FOTOS homepage, and the rest of the FOTOS website, as it
appeared before J. B. Thomas' demolition, click here.
To
help us retain our memories of this now-lost landmark, and to help FOTOS pay its legal bills, a tee shirt has
been designed in the Hilhi school colors featuring an image of the building and the years it stood in our
community (1929-2009). They may be purchased at Le Stuff Antiques (234 E. Main Street) or Seller's Antiques
(247 E. Main Street) in historic downtown Hillsboro. Or, contact [Name redacted] at [Phone № redacted].
The tee shirts
are $15 apiece and are available in adult sizes small through X-large.
Also, as a side note, someone from
the Greater Hillsboro Area community has set up a “J. B. Thomas Memories” MySpace page at
www.myspace.com/jbthomasmemories
where photos and stories of the Old School may be posted and shared. Some of the items already on the page
may be viewed by anyone while others are only accessible to MySpace users. Items in the latter category
require that one set up a free MySpace account and log in before they may be viewed (this is also required in
order to post anything new to the page).
Please
note that FOTOS is not connected, affiliated or endorsing the “J. B. Thomas Memories” MySpace
page, the individual(s) who set up and/or administers said MySpace page, or MySpace.com in any way. Said
MySpace page is mentioned here solely for community information purposes.
