how true....isn't it sad

Shows you how back woods we were.
Those would have fit in 1977 at my high school.
Yes we had a firearms in the vehicles during hunting season.
Yes we had knives in classes, if a fight broke out, it was considered very bad form to even think about pulling it out. If you did, usually your buddies would take it away from you!
I got beat regularly by the teachers (male and female) and the vice principle.
The smoking tree was a mediation between the students of all races.

When I was in HS I drove a bus. It was not uncommon during hunting season for someone to get on the bus with a shotgun if they were going hunting with someone else after school.

They would lean it up behind my seat, and when we got to school, they would take it to the principals office for safe keeping until the end of the day.

If you drove to school, you just left your gun in the gun rack in the rear window of your truck. Our school even had a shooting team.

If someone didn't have their pocket knife on them, you gave them he!! about it.

No one ever thought twice about it, no one got shot, or cut.

I grew up in the NC mountains and graduated in 1985.

This would not have happened in my ol'school. Our Dean was a ex-prize fighter who honed his talents when called for. Color didn't matter to him,..black, white or whatever.

BAM ZOOM,..to the Moon.
