My junior high principal used to stop you in the hall and ask the boys to see their pocket knife? If you didn't have one you were scolded. If you had one and it was dull he showed you how to hone an edge on it. He also made us learn how to light Blue Tip matches from your trouser leg in one swift motion.
That and paddle ball for some reason I have yet to figure?
When I was in high school, a group of us always had our rifles in the car or truck...After football practice, about 5-6 of us would head out to deer hunt in the last hour of light...
