I graduated high school in 1976. My principal was an active ordained minister. He officiated my sister and brother in law's wedding and likely many more of his former students weddings. He had the respect of the students and staff and control of the school.

In grade school we had voluntary assemblies about once a month and a local preacher would come by and talk to the students. Morning Pledge, devotion, and The Lord's Prayer, was part of beginning the school day. I miss the nation of my youth.

I miss that nation, too. Gone for good, I’m afraid.
