The school yard was miniscule and paved with concrete, too small for us to cause any trouble. So we did that stuff after dismissal. I have a dim memory of something like baking soda bombs in Coke bottles in the local park's handball courts.Bob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-72310299056689880062011-11-03T21:53:32.451-04:002011-11-03T21:53:32.451-04:00A week of relative close ups.

You boys had great fun it sounds like. <br />Can you believe, in my Chicago public school there was a playground on each side of the building and the boys got to have recess in the one with the apparatus. We girls just had an empty place with not even a bench. I think balls were not allowed, only jumpropes. It was kinda boring. And cold.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.com
