When you were growing up, was there a picture of the President hanging somewhere in your school?

[EmilyAnne]

I remember a picture of George Sr. hanging in the principal's office and in the lunch room at my elementary school.

If you remember, which president(s) and where was it displayed?
In every classroom or just in common areas like the lunch room?

Its amazing that within a few decades, its acceptable for a member of congress to call our president a "liar" right on the senate floor during such an important, nationally televised speech.

7. We had Bush's AND Rumsfeld's!

:puke:

(JROTC program in our school.)

Guidance counselor put up the cover of Time with Bush's mug after the 2004 election. I stuck thumbtacks all over it when he left the room one time (we'd hang out in there b/c he had couches). Man did he get pissed but never found out who! And it was gone the next day :)

Makes me wonder if next they will become as physical as the British Parliament.

11. I don't remember any pictures of the president at the time,

which would've been Johnson or Nixon. Maybe I've just forgotten, but I don't recall any. Pics of Washington and Lincoln in most classrooms. John Adams and John Quincy Adams in the hallway, office, and gym (my school was named for them). But, I honestly don't remember Johnson or Nixon.

I am one of the few people I know who easily recognizes pics of the Adamses, cuz there were so many pics in my school.
