Ah, the days before internet, 24hour news, tv's in the classroom, and smartphones.

We found out about the Reagan shooting when a parent drove to the school and told the principal who made an announcement over the PA and then played a radio broadcast for us to hear.

We cound out about the Challenger explosion when a parent drove to the school and interrupted our social studies class to tell us. Mr Ditmar ran down the hall and snagged one of the tv's before word got out and we got to watch the news coverage.
