We went to church, said the pledge of alligance and had a prayer at the beginning of each school day. We rode bikes without helmets, rode in wagons downhill. Sledded and fell out of a sled with no sides. We carried a dime with us and used a pay phone to call our parents to pick us up. We played outside until dark and complained when we heard our parents shouting it was time to come home. We played tag, hide and seek and board games. We watched the TV together as a family enjoying shows like westerns, Dr. Kildaire, Andy Griffin, Mary Tyler Moore show. We laughed at cartoons and read comic books. We had pen pals from another country. Girls wore dresses to school and took " Home Ec" as a class learing to cook, sew, manage a home.😊
