When a new gymnasium was being added to this school at Dearborn, Michigan, a construction worker fell from scaffolding and died of head injuries.

He is seen at night on the catwalk above the gym floor.

Students walking the corridors alone describe the sense of not being alone.

His name is not set down here. He was a working man who died on a job, his family are in the Detroit area, and he is not a character.

What is worth saying is that the building he died putting up is used every day by teenagers who were not born when it happened, and that they still know about him. A school passes this kind of thing down more reliably than any institution except a fire station.

Construction remains one of the deadliest occupations in the United States, and falls are the leading cause.

The school is in use.
