I went to high school in the late '70s and graduated in 1980. Was involved in ag classes and FFA. We graduated 30-40 kids in each senior class back then, so classes were relatively small by some standards. My graduating class had 43.
Every year, the FFA group would divide up into 5 different groups, all picked out by 5 different seniors, and we had a contest to see which team would bring in the most pheasant and quail on a Saturday during the hunting season. So let's comprehend this. Every kid had a lethal gun, each kid was in close proximity to each other while hunting and it was a contest to see who would be able to shoot the most, obviously hitting game. Remember, this was a school sponsored event.
Fast forward 30 years later at the same school. My youngest kid was in grade school and tagged along with mom on some garage sales runs one Saturday. For $.25, he picked up a short 2X4 board that somebody had crudely glued a clothes pin to. It was a homemade rubber band gun. Unknown to mom, he put it in his backpack and taken it to school the next Monday. The teacher saw it and FREAKED! My son immediately got sent to the principal's office and the teacher made a huge fuss over it in front of the whole class. The teacher relentlessly tried to get my son expelled that day and even made a huge fuss about it in front of all of his classmates after school during track practice, which she was their coach.
At least the principal had a good laugh about it and just told my son to keep his gun away from school.
