I didn't go but my football coach went there. When did Wilbur Wright and Philip Murray merge? And may I assume that when it happened that was when [the 'original'] DSA was established....? Some recent photos I've taken of the old relic... http://www.flickr.com/photos/t heblacklightstudio/520947980/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/t heblacklightstudio/496511917/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/t heblacklightstudio/496511911/ (Message edited by waxx on June 12, 2007) | ||

Goldberg Trade a girl's vocational school merged with Wilbur Wright in 1957. That last picture in Bohemianrobot's Flicker was my graduating class. | ||

Sweet pix. Looks like the 1st pic on your flickr page matches one of the pix I took of Wilbur Wright on Rosa Parks. | ||

Heres mine: http://www.detroitfunk.com/200 6/12/15/the_death_of_wilbur_wr ight.htm My father-in-law graduated from there in the 60's, and seeing these photos almost brought him to tears. | ||

Sorry 2 disappoint, but that class composite didn't come from me, if I'm not mistaken, it was bohemianrobot on flickr.com. I plan 2 have a pro account by next week (so I can post MORE pix). | ||

Waxx That class photo gave my chills. When I enlarged it there I was! They had all of the class pictures hung near the ceiling in the first floor halls. | ||

whatever, I cant compare marker on a wall to blasting it open and tearing shit out. | ||

Caldogven, when I saw that class photo, Ive noticed a bit of diversity there. I'm curious, what was the name of the mascot (I'm assuming 'Pilots')? And if U have any pics in your old collection share 'em with us. And are ALL the class pix hung in the 1st floor hall 2 this day? How were U even able to get in the joint? You've sparked my curiosity big time! | ||

I don't know when Wilbur Wright (as a high school) closed, but I was recently informed that when it was then DSA it closed its doors in either 2003, or 2004. I believe that this was when the new one downtown opened (Woodward & MLK [Mack] area). | ||

WW is open in a hundred places. No photo composites hanging in the halls currently. The building currently sits ravaged by a tiny marker doodle on a stairwell wall. | ||

Waxx Yes it was "Pilots". The only pictures I have are in the yearbook. I'm not too knowledgable about scanning and posting photos, but I'll try. The last time I was in the building was 1960 to get a copy of my records for a job interview. What is the diversity? The photos are Bohemianrobot's. | ||

I figured that 'Pilots' was the mascot. It's still the mascot at Philip Murray (Murray-Wright) high school on Warren between Rosa Parks and 14th. I may take a peek inside of there one day. the only pix I currently have are the URLs I posted in a previous thread. |
