I believe my max was 52 ... some on the floor and those that came early had seats on the counter, desks for 40.

California secondary grades 8-12 public schools, all on one campus. The counselors called it, "class leveling.". The juniors and seniors saw the 13 year old as "fresh meat." One year later the program for " SAM school age mothers" was created on the campus, 9th graders could identify the cry of their child through the folding partition walls. Never try to come between a mother and her child. At that time the state made payments for up to 5 kids under age 18 to one mother. Five daughters living at home ... that is a true welfare state that makes the "Irish woes" grovel in humility.
