no guns - new jersey law made it impossible, and i can’t remember anyone talking about hunting as part of any school related event. that’s odd; there were plenty of hunters around at the time. three gun sellers in the town, lots of fishing and hunting.
lots of the kids in my class carried folding knives, though, usually on a belt sheath.

Yep, everyone carried a knife so they could play mumblypeg at recess. The good ole days.

Heck, the rifle team at my high school couldn't fit their .22s (kept in gun cases) inside the school lockers, so they carried them around from class-to-class on days they had practice. Unloaded, of course, but nobody felt threatened. No Dylans & Kliebolds — a different country then. And yes, all males were expected to have a pocket knife and a handkerchief on their persons.
