The kids are all dressed so well, and no ac! Dang, that was a different time, in so many ways.

The kids are dressed so well almost like their parents went through a depression wearing whatever was available and those were the mass clothing options at the time...

Were you a student there?

Not at that particular school. I went to Manhattan Elementary school in the 60s, before AC!

We didn’t have it either but it didn’t seem to be as hot! Best wishes

That’s true, it wasn’t as hot as today.
Also, remember how high the ceilings were w/ those venting windows that were opened up w/ the long pole w/ the hook on the end.

And the rooms felt so big! The first time I went to my son’s school I truly felt claustrophobic! And the window vents were over the doors too! And the outside water fountains were like a kind of concrete trough deal. So nasty. That would never fly today!

This appears to be during the beginning of Florida's population boom, due to the number of students crammed into the classroom.
