[QUOTE="donna723, post: 444436, member: 1883"] Lisa, we used to do that too sometimes. Our school was really old too and had a full basement under it. The rooms where we went to watch the "educational" movies were down there. About all I remember about it was there was this huge round fountain like thing that squirted water out in all directions from the middle when you stepped on this thing on the bottom. It was big enough for a whole class of kids to stand around and wash their hands at the same time and we'd go down there every day before lunch to wash our hands. It was ancient even back when we were in elementary school. I'll bet they don't make those anymore! They used to send us down to that basement for some of the air raid drills too. They would always [I]tell[/I] us it was a drill, but then one time they didn't, and it scared us all silly - since they didn't tell us it was a drill, we assumed it was the real thing! We were all thinking, "That's it! We're all gonna die in this smelly old school basement!" [/QUOTE]
