I know we still have blackboard but we had the green ones too, I went to school from 1972 to 1985. In fact, I graduated 30 years ago tonight. It was a Friday and that Monday, I was working for a subsidiary of Halliburton for the summer,.
Things in school I remember:
16mm movie projectors
Filmstrip projectors where you had the "soundtrack" on a record or if you're really high tech, a cassette. At the sound of the beep......
Dittoes!!! Lots of 'em!!! Ditto machines! Who can forget that great smell of newly minted ditto paper?! I sniffed a lot of it and I still feel great joy thinking about it.
Show -n- Tell
Weekly readers!
Watching the local PBS station shows like "Big Blue Marble"
Highlights Magazine! (remember Goofus & Gallant?")?
School Glue! It wa like Elmer's but ours had a pirate logo on it. That and.....
Paste had a great aroma to it, next to dittoes of course.
\The memories......
