The gym at Winooski

Vermont · United States · School

Five students were killed coming back from Canada in the 1960s. The funeral home could not take all five, so some were laid out in the school gymnasium.

In the 1960s five students from this school in Winooski, Vermont were killed in a crash on the way back from Canada.

The local funeral home could not hold all five in its parlours. The rest were laid out in the school gymnasium, and a joint wake was held there.

That is the fact this entry turns on, and it is worth sitting with. Their classmates went back to lessons in a building where their friends had been laid out, in the room they used for basketball.

Caretakers have reported things in the gym since.

No names are set down here. This is within living memory in a town of a few thousand people, and the brothers, sisters and classmates of those five are still there.

Vermont's drinking age was lower on the Canadian side in that era, which is why the trip was being made at all.

The school is in use.
