I remember these drills so well, Rebecca.

“File out calmly and rapidly children. When you enter the hall, get down on your knees and tuck your body in close to the wall. Place your hands over your heads on the floor. Don’t talk until we give the signal.” These were our teacher’s instructions during our 1950s duck and cover drills. Shouted out over an alternating siren guaranteed to affect your hearing.
When will we wake up from our Nuclear Weapons Nightmares?

I remember these drills so well, Rebecca. "TURTLE POSITION TAKE!" was what our teacher would holler, and down we went.
