You went OUTSIDE during an air raid drill——or did you go out after the all-clear sounded?
God,it seems like yesterday sometimes.

No.
Inside under the desks or in the coat room for the air raid drill and then there was a fire alarm under the presumption that after an attack the building would be burning so we had a fire drill.
I lived in Winthrop in those days. I don’t remember having air raid drills while in school.
But we had them at night, and after we turned all our lights off, the family went outside to hear the sirens, and to watch the searchlights explore the sky. It was fascinating. And except for the searchlights, everything was so dark. We could look across a broad marsh at East Boston, and the dark there seemed so strange.
