Woh, seriously?!? When I was in school, the only thing that was "girls only" and "boys only" was gym class- or, as some locations call it, P.E. Topping it off, girls had gym class 2 days a week and boys had it 3 days a week. When I was in my last years of high school, we were told that had to change- not only giving girls equal time, but making the gym classes "co-ed." I didn't know a single student, male or female, who did not hate that new arrangement.Even more insane than that, Marg, was the elementary school I went to, probably built in Victorian times, as it was a pretty old building. The girls had to line up on one side of the building, the boys on another, and we had to go in through doors that had GIRLS or BOYS engraved in the stone above the door. Then, when we got inside, boys and girls mingled together in the classroom!

What's a great room? Just guessing- another name for library?
Nope, not a library. In our school it resembled that of a dungeon, with large concrete castle-like pillars with large archways connecting them, and all was concrete... the floor, the walls. The room was baronial in size. There was wooden benches scattered all around for kids to sit, a gigantic open closet area to hang your jacket and things when the weather was miserable, etc.

Yeah, but they were easier to fix and when you looked under the hood you knew what you were looking at. Now a days there are too many electronics involved and I'm lost looking under the hood now.
Agree completely!
I started school in 1939 (first grade - no kindergarten) and the boys and girls were separated on the playground and it still remained that way when I graduated to Jr. High (now Middle School) in 1944.
It's funny, because I've mentioned the fact to a number of people over the years, and they look at me like I'm from another planet.

My high school had an outdoor smoking section for students.
There was no designated area on the grounds of the high-school I attended, smoking was allowed anywhere.My high school had an outdoor smoking section for students.
