Yeah, I was in elementary school back in the 1960s, when no self-respecting American primary school was without an intercom. The building was new and lacked either a bell system or clocks, so the intercom did everything. The principal read announcements in the morning. Every hour on the hour, someone announced the time. And the "fire alarm" consisted of someone blowing a police whistle through the intercom.
