I graduated in '72, so things were already in process of change.
The principal was a real deal a$$ of a man. He did everything in his power to prove it. Smoking was not allowed by the book, but walk into any boys restroom and the smoke would be so thick it was suffocating. He would make surprise raids, always a day before 6 week, or mid term, or final exams. Getting caught meant 3 days suspension. He would walk right by some and pick the ones he didn't like, the jocks were exempt from the smoking rules and many other rules.
Pocket knives were always against the rules. They would have surprise inspections at PE class. We were lined up and told to empty everything from our pockets on the ground in front of us. If anything was found, it was confiscated. No further action, which leads me to think this was just a way to collect pocket knives for their own collections.
Guns were never really an issue, never saw anyone bring one or even talk about bringing one. Having one in the rack of the truck was OK as long as it stayed in the parking lot.
They keyed on some strange things though, long hair on boys was strictly prohibited, so were untucked shirt tails, tee shirts of any type. Again, the rules were not equally applied, depended on who you were. Same with the girls dress codes, very strict for most, but the cheer leaders, the cool kids, the jocks, anything was allowed.
Language, very, very strict enforcement! Even a private conversation, you had to keep a close watch, if it was heard, the hammer came down! Any disrespect toward any staff was instant suspension, sometimes permanent.
Pregnancy, you were outta' there no excuses, no exceptions! Even the teachers were not allowed to work while showing. It was a tabu subject, even through high school!
