Nuclear Warheads Flying Toward Reinhardt

Most of us children at Reinhardt lived in nuclear families and also live under the shadow of a nuclear attack from the Soviet Union.

I believe that we practiced three types of emergency drills as children:

--Fire drills in which each class marched single-file from rooms to a designated area at a safe distance from the building.

--Tornado ( a real possibility) drills where we would line up against lockers with hands behind neck and away from transom windows.



















This photo is from 1960-61 PTA Yearbook, from the
Reinhardt Library, likely of 6th grade students in
a tornado drill.

--Bomb (a remote risk but with high impact) drills in which we assumed a “duck and cover” position in halls.
