Yeah come to think of it, you're correct
. My 1st-7th was called "Elementary School", and my 8th was called "Jr High School", and of course my 9th-12th was "High School". Went to Catholic schools with the exception of my 8th grade year, which was a public school. My parents didn't like the curriculum, so they put me back in private school my 9th grade year.- Joined

Yep I am old. I remember all of those things in the pics. I remember when cigarettes went to 35 cents a pack in one of those machines and was really PO'd when they went to 50 cents so I switched to cigars(now my Cohibas and Davidoff's cost a heck of a lot more now a days) As for the rotary phone I still have a rotary wall phone in the garage and people look at it and can't figure out how to use it but that is another story, still works on Verizon and the darn thing wont die for as many times the handset was dropped. Still have a phone in everyroom due to cell service in my area is poor. My neighbor had a Curtis Mathes but they were rich and could afford a high end TV like that. Good Ole days!!!!
Went to Catholic school and around here it was called grade school till 8th grade when you went to High School for 9-12. Public school was called elementary till 7th grade then Jr High for 8 and 9 and then High school for 10-12.Yeah come to think of it, you're correct

35mm film canister. the Film was shipped/sold in those tubes inside a cardboard box.This is almost cruelI know them all, except that one photo that looks like a container with a lid.
Most Sporting Goods/ Camping stores sold a set of lids you could put on them and turn them into Salt and Pepper shakers for camping.
My Brother kept Quarters in one in his car (parking meters, tolls, phone booths, etc.)
Grandparents Def. had the Giant Console TV, I can remember it going to a shop for service a couple times. also some family photos of a 13" TV sitting on top of the Broken Console TV.
That paneling is Literally right behind me as I type this, and THAT EXACT LINOLEUM is still our kitchen floor...with a floating floor on top of it.
Basically 100% on that list, with the caveat that we never hid under our desks...
there are Def a couple of those Corning ware dishes in the kitchen cupboard.
I did I a short stay in Cincinnati. They had all sorts of weird ( to me) names for things. Rotor button,tow motor are 2 I remember well.
I know someone who recently passed with the phone still on the wall, same one installed in the 1960's. They were definitely built to last.
Every single one of them. But the macaroni dish I had was slightly different. I grew up on my Mom's "pasta fagioli". It is elbow macaroni, ground beef, pasta sauce, and pork and beans. I still make it sometimes. Had it a week ago. Mmm Mmm Mmm

100% But, the plastic 35 mm film canister was too modern. I have these in my shop to store small odds & ends.
35mm. Used for film by me, and for storage of illegal substances by some of my classmates…
Those were for film?!?! ...learn something everyday.
Robert Lansing 12 O'clock high, but my version was on a black/white tv
