I was in Ohio staring 1st grade in fall of 1957. Never ever did we have a duck and cover or anything like that.

I only heard about it when Atomic Cafe or wherever it was called, came out.

Except for second and fourth grade, where I was in Indiana, my entire school career was in California and I vividly remember those duck-and-cover drills. Now that you mention it, I don't really remember doing it in the Midwest. Out of range, perhaps?
