projector. We did have a slide projector with the teacher reading the narration as the slides were changed. I remember most of them being geographical in nature.

The first (and only) sex education film I ever saw was when I was a high school senior and they had all the girls go to the gym and watch a film about starting your period. A little late on the timing on that. Rumor had it that the boys saw a film on VD, but they must have been sworn to secrecy by the coach because they never talked about it.
