I never did attend a single school that had AC.
I lived in San Marcos, TX with no AC in the house. We lived in Midwest City, Oklahoma in 1967 with no AC.
We lived in several houses in Montgomery, AL with limited AC.
I remember when I was about 14 just soaked in sweat in my bedroom doing homework. The base would not turn the electricity on for the AC until some magic date that had to arrive. It was stupid hot but at least I had an electric fan. I vividly remember promising myself someday I would own a house with central air conditioning and I would keep the house nice and cool. I was 26 when it bought my first house. One of the specifications I had for my realtor was a house with central AC. The other spec was a garage. I was not buying a house without those two things.
