One of my memories of my '80s schooldays was the scrolling blackboard. Two floor-to-ceiling lengths of wood hiding the runners on each side. There were three or four boards with a metal strip dividing each one, and one board always had the geometric grid lines in faded green, regardless of whether or not any Maths lessons were taught in that particular classroom. There was also a small wooden shelf attached to one of the sides for the chalk and board rubber. They were perfect for drawing rude objects on and scrolling them over and out of sight until the unsuspecting teacher used the board and rotated the hidden image back into view.
Do any schools still have the scrolling blackboard? - or have they all been phased out for whiteboards with internet access screens. Progress eh?!
.........and then there was the formica TV/Video cabinets on wheels.
