IIRC you weren't allowed to bring things the size of backpacks into whatever room a test was being given in when I was in high school and college, 1970-75.
In high school at least, I believe we had lockers for coats and bags and stuff.
Calculators of that time also didn't fit into shirt or pants pockets - and for some high school stuff, we definitely still used slide rules.

THANK YOU Olorgando for acknowledging that some of us used slide rules! (And still know how to use it!)

I don't know how many of you remember these little merchants of death, but I flew off one when I was maybe 9 or 10, sprained my hip (that was the eventual diagnosis) and crawled home because I was too stubborn to ask for help. Those were the days.

There's a "Cousin Bob" in every family.

There's a "Cousin Bob" in every family.

Me looking over my Middle Eastern family tree: I highly doubt it.🧐
