Did you recite the Lord's Prayer at school?

This is what I remember

Our Father, who art in Heaven
hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those that trespass against us
For thine is the Kingdom, The Power and the Glory
Forever and ever
Amen

Is that correct?
 

No.

The Catholic kids were released to attend religious education classes held at a nearby church.

The school cafeteria didn’t serve meat on Friday and a few other traditional holy days.

Those are the only religious concessions that I remember.
 
Yes we did at Primary school..not at senior school...

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

i may be wrong but i don't remember this part in school:
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
 
Yes, in West Virginia elementary schools we said the Lord's Prayer every morning, the whole thing as is Holly's version. I'm sure they wouldn't have only said part of it, the part about not being led into temptation would have probably been considered the most important part for children. I still say it every night.
 
Every Friday, at Assembly, we would be treated to some Bible verses. They had to have been, must have been, from the OT as my elementary school was 99% Jewish.

Thank you for saying "it was the 1950’s, and conformity was the norm"
You got that right!
 
We did not pray in elementary school (public school), but we did recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. My kids went to Catholic school and I'm sure they had prayers.
