Your geeky friend had Pong to play on his TV.

And you bought singles and albums on cassette.

...you watched Captain Kangaroo and Romper Room in the early morning before your folks woke up.

...and Mr. Greenjeans (for some reason he had such a calming effect on me).

You know you're old school if when you were sent to see the principle, he had a paddle. He didn't use it on me, but he had it sitting in a prominent place on his desk. That was all it took.

My gym teacher hit me on the touche once when I stepped on a matt. I didn't hear him say not to. Anyhow, I told my mom and she called the principal and told him, under no uncertain terms were they ever to do that again. Kind of funny since my mom had absolutely no problem hitting me herself. Anyhow, it never happened again. The Principal was one of the really good guys in my life. He always watched out for me. :) I did hear, from my sister, she got paddled by him.

Yeh, Britt, that's a good one. It's hard to play a superhero without a decent phone booth around!

Here's a picture of that phone booth.

Wow, a red one!: I remembered a lot of sky blue ones. I miss them, perhaps I'll have to get one for my back yard to irk some of my neighbors who tisk-tisk at me for not keeping a perfectly manicured yard! (Thanks, Britt)

You might be a bit old school if you had a rolodex or Polaroid instantomatic camera. Or remember dropping off your film at one of those little photo huts the size of a doghouse for humans!
