Sometimes in the auditorium the guidance dept would show us some film strip on how to select colleges and pitfalls to avoid.

Well, some of us kids could make a good replica of that beep tone, to get the kid to advance the film strip early. And have the presentation, as recorded on the record, run out of pictures before it was finished.

My school district was so poor, we were still using the beep-records and slide projectors... but I graduated in 1996! Thanks for bringing that up though, I had forgotten about those. I remember the old portable wood-box record player with the 6x9 speaker in the front.

We did have the standard "AV Cart"- a 70s-era color TV and a top-loader VCR too, for when we wanted to watch "modern" films, heh.
