And pencils? Boy, those were a luxury... we had to write with mechanical pencil lead! Not even mechanical pencils... just the leads! And if you wanted to change an answer... tough luck!
FIVE?! You lucky kids--when I took it back in 2003, we walked TEN miles! To our own library, where we sat on spiked stools with barbed wire wrapped around our feet. And we liked it!

(From an old-timer, though, good luck. 3's get degrees...or at least that pesky HIST 111 credit out of the way.)
