I remember volunteering to go to the office and making copies from 1st grade to 8th grade. Coming back and passing out the goods. 1969-1977. Great time to be alive. 🥴

We had it when I was I. Grade school- 1959. Lived that smell!!! And when you got older, you actually could get a chance to make the copies by turning the drum with the mimeograph stencil.
