re: No Recess in Middle School?

Middle school late 1970's: 10 recess in morning, 30 minutes minimum after lunch, 10 minutes mid-afternoon. That's a lot of queer smearin'! And if your teacher was cool, PE was tacked on after the afternoon recess. Kickball with those purple/red utility balls.

Run home at 3:00 for a half bag of oreos and milk with Gilligan's Island on the TV then off to football or baseball or basketball practice depending on the season.
