We were more usefully oriented-chairs, handles etc.Not many people were into smoking pipes anyway,my dad had one but never smoked it.

I took both Wood Shop and Plastics in junior high. I remember that many of my classmates at Park Hill crafted teacher-approved pipes as the class projects. Would that have been allowed in the U.S.S.R.?

I kinda had a flash back of my 50’s school days when I saw those pictures. Maybe things weren’t so different here and there cept for the dear leader pics.

Disappearing leaders were common in the 30’s.During my time only people who died were taken off, but never Marx, Engels and Lenin.

Wood shop and I didn’t get along AT ALL. I still have bleeding wounds from that class. I remember trying to make a wooden bowl on the lathe…. unfortunately, due to production errors, it ended up looking like a giant brown Lifesaver. P.S. Do you ever recall a time when a “leaders’ ” picture would suddenly disappear from the school room wall?
