We didn't even have calculators when I was in high school (1959-63).

In my high school, they set up a rather well-coordinated project to get various people to bring in 
portable TV sets so that everyone in every classroom would be able to watch the inauguration of 
President Kennedy.  The school itself had just one TV set.  Then it snowed that day and they 
called off school, so we all got to watch it at home.

They put radio coverage of Alan Shepard's sub-orbital space flight on the PA system to all 
classrooms.
