Workers renovating a high school in Oklahoma City were stunned to find chalkboards from the early 1900s behind the walls.
The series of chalkboards, that seem to have been used in 1917, were discovered in three classrooms at Emerson High School.
They feature lessons on math, reading, music, and handwriting.
“It was almost like a spiritual moment because people who had lived and played and worked in here... a part of them is preserved,” Kishore said. “It’s like you’re going back in time.”
Along with the boards, the workers found old report cards and newspaper clippings. On one clipping is an advertisement for a $3 pair of women’s shoes.
