TFB writer Phil White found this photo in his 1966 high school yearbook. Phil wrote on Facebook …

I was thinking about how things have changed over the years as far as attitudes towards guns are concerned.

I remembered one my high school yearbooks had a photo of a student making a class presentation—cleaning a rifle!

This is from the 1966 yearbook at my high school.

Do they still teach AK-74 maintenance in Russian schools?
