My Luck

We had what was called the Common room. If you were 18, age of majority in Canada you could smoke in the school in that room, just like the staff room for teachers. Circa 1976
Ours was called The Pit, and it was just a set of seldom-used doors leading outside. I didn't smoke (never have), but I recall it was cold as hell walking past there, while changing classes, in the middle of the winter, as someone would always prop one of the doors open.
