Same for me in the ‘50s and ‘60s in school near Buffalo. No duck and cover. But we went to the hallway walls, stood up facing them, with our head in crossed arms.
The only thing separating our house from the air raid siren was a church and a town hall. THAT sound was terrifying!

Yikes!! I imagine it would have been deafening at such a close range.
