‘70 I was going into the 11th grade. Any day off from school I’d remember. Pretty sure we were off. 
I remember having the 30th off in school .... back to the 50s. Used to be "Decoration Day". On that day, there'd be a parade with a ceremony at the local WWI memorial. Then head to the pool where they threw a wreath into the pool in remembrance of those lost at sea.
