3) Brought your lunch, hot lunch, home for lunch? I don't remember buying lunch at school often. Mostly it was lunchbox with pbj, cling peaches and ten cents for a milk.

Mine looked like the ones pictured below. I remember some of the ones with the wooden seats being to small and very uncomfortable.

[HardyGirl]

The desks were always front sliders. They usually had a slot on the top to keep your pencils, as well as a slot in front inside the desk. I remember 6th grade right after Star Wars came out, most of the boys put those gum card stickers on their desks. Why the teacher (or janitor) never made them take them off, I'll never know.
