    I grew up in a benadyl haze in May and June…all I could do was lay in the hammock dozing beneath the willow trees, listening to The Beatles, and Lovin’ Spoonful, etc……I’m not complaining, mind you,….(Hey, It beat the hell out of itchy eyes, itchy nose, and itchy roof of mouth, which was the worst…). Out growing those allergies was a real treat, though…

    School seldom got over 90° in June when I was a kid. But in September there were 104° afternoons. Then again the only places with a/c were stores and theaters. We drank a lot of water and dressed lightly. And we’re uncomfortable a lot. In school we couldn’t dress down so much, and the rooms got hotter though.

    My schools in Upstate NY and NJ had steam radiators for cold weather, and could open the top section of the tall windows during warm weather. By leaving the classroom doors open, we got cross flow ventilation. My schools in Texas and Florida (built in the 60’s) all had air conditioning.

    The school on Guam didn’t have heating or air conditioning, and only closed the windows when the rain was blowing into the classroom, The typical temperatures ranged from 70 to 88 F, with all time records of 63 and 95 F.It got down to 66 F once while i was there, and the locals acted like they were about to freeze to death.

    A military dependent, I attended 7 schools from Kindergarten to graduating High School in 4 states, one US territory and 7 cities.
