I'm amazed that no one has mention those glass "clacker" balls on strings that you could play with until they shattered into a million bits and lodged in your eyes.We had them in the early '70s- we called them "Deely Bobbers." Not sure where that name came from.

We had 'Slave Day', where the teachers and seniors got auctioned off to the rest of the students for a day. We got to dress them in silly costumes, and they had to carry our books from class to class.Don't worry about it- I'm black and we had "Slave Auctions" to raise money both in high school and college. It was kinda funny to see girls try to buy guys who didn't like them.

How about a Julia doll? Remember her - she was (I think) the first black woman to star on a tv show - Julia Carroll.... That's Diahann Carroll, and I think I did get one of those but the Francie doll stood out so much more for me.

>>>>>>>Those removable rings on top of soda and beer can. <<<<<<<
Had a chain of those almost a half a block long. Mom made me toss it one day; I figured it would be easy to replace. Never did.
Wonder what I could get for it at a flea market these days??????????

>>>James Taylor and Carly Simon <<<
I actually held JT's hand after he and CS had a concert in Cleveland, uh, I'm thinking 74 and that's as close as I can come.
Everyone wanted his autograph, I had nothing for him to sign. He laughed and grabbed my hand and walked to the Greyhound size bus waiting. I remember looking at Carly and thinking that no picture could EVER do her justice. She was beautiful, period.

It was kinda funny to see girls try to buy guys who didn't like them. LOL! I have to admit, I was in the 'misfit' crowd - - we used to pool our money to buy a popular guy....a Geek's Revenge kind of thing!
Remember the Frito Bandito?? I LOVED that song!
