  • Sitting on the porch and eating hot bread-and-butter.
  • Lunch tickets,
  • Jacks, kick ball, Dodge ball, Mother may I? Red Rover.
  • Wax lips and mustaches.
  • Running in the sprinkler.
  • Listening to the lone ranger on the radio, the Texaco Star theater.
  • Catching lightning bugs in a jar.
  • Going downtown seem like going somewhere.
  • Climbing trees, one million mosquito bites and sticky fingers.
  • Running until you were out of breath.
  • Being tired from playing.
  • When there were two types of sneakers and the only time you wore them at school was for gym.
  • When a quarter was an allowance and would get you into the movies and buy your drink and popcorn WITH CHANGE LEFT OVER.
  • When all your male teachers wore ties and female teachers had their hair done every day.
  • When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
  • When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to eat dinner at a real restaurant.
  • When there were no fast food places.
  • When they threaten to keep kids back a grade if they failed, and did!
  • When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.
