And we played dodge ball and "bombardment", all kinds of kill-the-enemy games. :o)
Our team was named The Nasty Nauseating Nosepickers. The football coach doubling as our gym teacher got a real kick out of the names we chose for our teams in the kill-the-enemy ball games.
We also had a game called smear the qu*** where the object as to tackle the person holding on to the football. Yet somehow we all turned out just fine. I also remember chasing people around with switches. Hard to believe that in 10 short years things from my childhood are now considered dangerous.
