When I was a junior in high school, Mr. Carlson had all boys in his class, so he taught us this way:

Sally Can Tell
Oscar Has
A Hard
On Always

That's unforgettable. He also showed us the first electronic calculator we had ever seen. He rolled it in on a wheeled table. It was about 2 feet by 2 feet and used nixie tubes to display the result.

It sounds like the Frieden calculator we used in college chemistry in the early '60's.
