District 57 Schoolhouse
The 2 room Red Brick Schoolhouse was located on the S/W corner of 79th South and Seneca.
“in 1941, the District 57 schoolhouse, nearly 20 years old, was Haysvilles only school. After being closed in the late 1940s it was used off an on as a overflow classroom during the citys rapid growth in the 1950s.”

1999 Tornado And I-beam
Of all the Haysville tornado stories, I don’t recall this one that I just come across…
Photo date: May 6, 1999
Photographer: FEMA / Mannie Garcia
Photo location: Haysville KS
FEMA Director (L), James Lee Witt describes to Kansas Governor (R), Bill Graves how a thirty foot, one inch thick, steel I-beam is driven into the ground in Haysville, Kansas. The steel I-beam found its way into the backyard of Mr. Wallace (C) whose home was destroyed. Winds exceeding 275 MPH during the tornado carried the I-beam over a quarter mile causing the damage. Accompanying the men is John Miller, (2R) Regional Director/FEMA. Photo by Mannie Garcia/FEMA.

Changes
Rumor has it that the above scene may change and 2 of Haysvilles oldest buildings may soon be altered or disappear. I hear that Kwik Shop may be remodeling or expanding.
I assume this means the old Mr Swiss building will be razed.
Mr Swiss, Mike & Bettys, Tubbys hamburgers, Amandas Floral, Changes Family Hair Care and most recently Garys barber shop are some of the businesses that have occupied the building at 418 W Grand. Can you recall any others? Leave your comments below.

Has Haysville Run Out Of Stuff?
It appeared to me that there werent near as many garage sales this year as in the past. A clerk at a local convenience store also commented on how the store wasnt as busy as it usually is during this weekend.
What do you think? How was your garage saling or selling experience? Leave your comments below.
