I'm sorry to say that many students in many classrooms at my junior high school
cheered when the news was announced over the PA system. That shocked me as much as the news did. When the racket began a few students in my class started looking around and getting restless but our teacher stopped that by slapping a long metal ruler across her desk.
This was in upstate South Carolina.
