Actually, it was a week day...I just watched the whole video and there was a point where at the bottom it said 1/8/1991. So it wasn't February. And January 8th in 1991 was a Tuesday.

I was in the last graduating class before it burnt. Our class song was "We didn't start the fire".

1st time I've seen this video, am watching with tears as I was a member of the last high school class to graduate from this school, b4 it became a middle school. My Dad worked for years in this building. Has brought back good memories of the school & memories of my Dad. The school was built in the 1930's

Jesus I lived in nearby Seekonk, Ma. and I don't remember this. Usually I remember all the big fires around the area. Outlet fire in '86, Kerr Mill fire in '87, etc.
