Ice skating by the Fire Hall, and the Wellwood pond? Your dad to get the car started at 35 below? Candy dots, jiffy pop, nickel nips & the ice cream man? Not having a TV - and listening to Amos & Andy, Big John & Sparky and The Shadow? Getting a TV - and watching Kukle, Fran & Ollie, I Remember Momma, Roy & Dale, and Hop-Along Cassidy? (check Michael Crolick's shirt in the '52 picture) Climbing trees, DDT, the old Bahouth Building, white bucks, 3-D movies (and comics), roller skates (with keys), sky writing, tire chains and seeing the Northern Lights - from Fayetteville? Doing the bunny hop in gym? When almost every guy carried a pocket knife to school? - and it was OK, and almost every gal wore a circle pin ? (we never really knew why, they wouldn't tell us). Green Lakes, Snooks Pond, Suburban Park and the Swan Pond? Going to a double feature, with cartoons and the Newsreel? Sending in box tops to get stuff? Dance class with Mr. Snell at the Fire Hall? Watching girls try to get on the school bus, with tight skirts & Cappezios? (sp?).....in winter! Friday fish days, 15.9 gas, flat tops, jelly rolls and butch wax? Rushing home from school to watch The Mickey Mouse Club? - and Annette, of course! When 78's were your Grandparents music, 33's were your parents music, and 45's were our music! The Chubby Checker school assembly? And lastly, when someone (Campy Tillman?) took the valve stems out of all the school bus tires?....and we got a "snow" day!
So...........what do you remember???
