Oddly enough I too was in elementary school in N.O. during the Cuban crisis.
Small world...maybe we crossed paths - literally! I went to Westgate Elementary, right next to St. Lawrence. This was actually in Kenner. We did the 'duck and cover' but it probably wouldn't have made a world of difference as the whole back wall was louvered glass!

The louvered glass probably wouldn't have made any difference if the duck and cover was truly warranted! I went to McDonnell #7 in N.O. The Garden District, I think. Hey, what do I know about neighborhoods, I was a little kid!
Sure have good childhood memories of N.O. though.
Stay safe.
