That is so sad. We played Dodge Ball, Kick Ball,
Tag,
Touch Football, general ''kid stuff'. Many kids would go
home with scars, skinned knees, fat lips, black eyes,
etc.,
no lawsuits back then.

We played buck-buck using a telephone pole as the anchor;
a great way to
keep the neck and spine aligned, with what, I don't know.
We wrestled, boxed, and kicked each other in the ass for
fun.
We didn't have any playground equipment at all - lack of
cash, Catholic
school. No gym until high school, no lockers, no showers,
just run around
outside with a tie on, then come back in all sweaty and
watch the girls fan
their thighs with their uniform skirts. I wouldn't trade
the memories for
anything!


Played buck-buck and 'capture the flag' in Scouts. Night
time capture the flag was the best!
