I totally stumbled on this.Sorry if the title sounds like click bait. (You won't believe number 8!!!!).
There was a school in Los Alamos, NM known as the Los Alamos Ranch School. It was bought by the War Department during WW II to be the home of the Manhattan Project.
Well, it is reported that Bill Veeck-- our Bill Veeck-- attended this school in his youth. There were some other relatively famous attendees of this preparatory school, I'll let you read the article if you're interested.
How about that?
