in 5th grade, Armin Harnedy brought in his father’s M-1 rifle to school for show and tell. The principal insisted he bring it to the office first so the principal could remove the firing pin, then Armin was allowed to bring it in class. Safety first.
My Junior High used to be the high school when it was first built in the 50’s. It has a rifle range in it’s basement.

Race, In the 8th grade, one of my class mates brought in his hunting rifle in to that same junior high. He wrote a long report about hunting for our English class. He took the firing pin out. Some jerk went into the room where the rifle was stored and found some bullets that were in the rifle case and started to throw them to the floor trying to set them off. None went off. The idiot was suspended. I will freep mail you and give you the name. You probably remember him. This guy was on the football team. He dropped out of school 3 months before graduation to join the service. Right before he dropped out he got a Mohawk haircut. The Marines threw him out for his misbehavior within a few months.
I remember Armand too. He lived on Jackson St. I went over his house one time and he showed me some old classic car from the early 60's in his garage that he was restoring.
