I was fortunate to get a summer job with the MTU ground crew the summer Hubbell Hall was demolished. They hired me and one other student to help move equipment, etc. from Hubbell to the new ME-EM building. We moved a huge oven from the basement, up those narrow stairs to the outside. It took about eight of us. I am afraid it wasn’t of much use when we got it out and I don’t think it was ever used again. As the building was being demolished, the two of us students loaded those Jacobsville sandstone building blocks into a front-end loader in the pouring rain. They were several hundred pounds each. They took them “down under the hill” and were going to use them for a Hubbell Hall memorial. Did that ever happen?

I had one class at Hubbell, a math class on the upper floor. The student teacher would throw his piece of chalk at you if you answered incorrectly. Needless to say, there was far more chalk in the back of the room than at the slate board. Finally, he made a mistake in his example and I grabbed one of the chalk pieces on the floor and threw it at him, as did everyone else on the back row. He was absolutely pummeled.
