From 1st to 12th grade I never once attended a school that was air conditioned. I can remember sweat dripping from my nose onto my test paper as I sat at my school desk. And that happened many times. I even went to schools with no heat! Well, OK they were in Hawaii and the "halls" were just open sidewalks with a roof but no walls.
One thing that helped get me into professional photography was the fact that my high school had no AC except the administration office, and the yearbook staff room. Yearbook staff met during the final period, and usually stayed after school to work on the yearbook. It was regularly 100+ degrees outside and that one room with a window AC unit was a refuge, and I got to take a lot of the business from a local professional photographer, as I had a darkroom at home. He offered me a job while I was in sitting in class, as he was shooting things I could not as I had to attend class.
Only in Montgomery, AL did I ever have a couple of snow days.
