1960 - Mark shares Aspirin with the school principal out on the smoking dock.

Smoking dock? In 1960 the principal was smoking in his own office.

I'm guessing other elements of 60s school life is long gone in 2007:
- Playing Smear the Queer with the Football
- Singing Negro spirituals in music class

Once when I accidently got on the wrong bus (I was 6), the bus driver finished her route and then drove me home herself in her car.

- Playing Smear the Queer with the Football

We played that all the time. Now, my kids call it "Smash the guy".

Negro spirituals

Or, as they called them in the black schools, "spirituals".
