Presidential fitness test! I think that was my best event (sit and reach).View attachment 751059
I'll admit, I don't remember these.
It's really a shame that today's kids don't have this universal shared experience. My daughter claims Spongebob is it for her, but I still don't think it's quite the same. The silver lining of fewer entertainment options I suppose.
I think it was part of the Presidential Fitness Test. Man I hated that day of school!View attachment 751059

I remember the overhead projector, but was out of school before they invented the VCR. heavy sigh. For us, the best day was when the teacher got out the movie projector.It was a good day when they wheeled in that TV cart!!

My best prank in HS was when our Senior Year English teacher (who was probably in her 70s) told us we were going to watch some movie the next day. That was before universal remotes, so a buddy and I brought multiple remotes from home and when she turned the VCR on, we turned it off. She'd turn the TV on, we'd turn it off. She'd hit PLAY, we'd hit REWIND.I remember the overhead projector, but was out of school before they invented the VCR. heavy sigh.

The class was in on it and laughing uncontrollably. Another student told her it must be an electrical problem, and had her try the other side of a duplex outlet. This went on for 10-15 minutes with her getting more frazzled. She finally went next door to get the AV teacher who came in and said "Who has the remotes?" We behaved after that.
This never goes out of style. My 10 year old just picked out a pen like it at dollar tree.
I had that look when I realized that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was closer in time to the Beatles being on Ed Sullivan than it is to today.

Thank you all for making me feel much older than my 41 years today. Yes I remember all of those things.
