I did the morning anouncments as well- spoken over a crackley microphone and played out over crackley mono speakers in each class room. The prep work was done on these technologocal marvels called 'index cards', on which the announcement material was etched using something called a 'pen'.

Same here on all counts (save for me delivering the morning announcements). Pen, index cards, grey hairs being plucked. However, on that last point, I do get a bit ticked. One time we were at her parents' house for a family party and I was sitting on the floor while she was on the couch behind me. She reached down and plucked out a grey hair in front of everybody. I turned to her and said "what the heck are you doing?", she said "plucking a grey hair", I said "why?", she said "it's grey", I said "it's attached and, so long as it's attached, I could care less what color it is", one of her uncles said "amen!"
Oh, and to age us even more, I took my keyboarding class on a typewriter. Remember those?
