I was in the first sophomore class at SHS. My father was the chemistry and physics teacher. My brother and I helped Dad move all of the chemicals from the third floor of the old school to the second floor of the new one the summer of 1960. We did it in shorts and t-shirts and didn't have to have a hazmet permit to move all those acids, lead, mercury, etc. Matter of fact all of those items came in the chemistry kits we would get at Christmas time. We "cleaned" our old coins with mercury so they would be nice and shiny. Those were the good old days.
