When I went there, that van was parked out back stuffed with bags of shredded paper.

@@keizerhistory I was fortunate enough to graduate from Mcnary in ‘85. Twenty years of being open; It was a milestone for the high school and students. Attending there from 81-85 so many fun memories and many friends; classmates and staff.
