School Supplies

I need some pencils too Mom!
They're in your sack dear.  Don't forget your rubbers.

This guy collects stuff like this.  I had to find my own Kraft cheese box to put it all in. 
Cooties were not allowed in my school.

We used to make crude banjos out of wooden cigar boxes.

I used a box of GRUMBACHER Oil pastels in 1980, 36 years after kindergarten.Bought them at a book store in the local mall.
Geez...never know how long they had lain there,(and somewhere else) before I bought them.
Miracle they were usuable I guess.
I remember being impressed how great they worked.

Cigar box banjos, a Cub Scout activity.

I used several wooden cigar boxes as speaker enclosures. I was a geek even at age 7.

I remember coming home from my fist day at school with a list of required supplies. The cheese box was specified, along with Crayolas, a pencil sharpener, #2 pencils, paste, a paint set and brushes, and scissors. Man was I proud the next day to go to school, lugging my new tool box.

Loved applying LePages glue with that rubber topper; not so much for the crackely, crumbly finish. Yes, I ate little tastes of the white school paste and sniffed the heck outta ditto (mimeograph) sheet hand outs. Also, hung my head out the car window for the smell of regular gasoline while Dad filled up. Mmmmm, the good old days. :]
Before massive government nannyism.

Grizzly - My Mom's Uncle worked in a Gold mine. He brought me home several wooden Dynamite Boxes that I used for my speaker enclosures.

I found a couple of them in my Dad's basement a while back. I took them apart added wheels, handles and a few other pieces and used them as the base for gun carts for my kids for Cowboy Action Shooting.

Juice, I remember LaPages glue (and Elmers too). In my first year of high school was in the "A/V club", and got to help maintain the memeograph machines.

Things were simpler back then. But even so, there was change in the winds, we just didn't notice it being kids and all.

My Mom still has her set of Crayolas, in good shape too...except for the black one which her jerk children broke.

Guy S,
Truthful and sadly, you are correct regarding the winds of change and being unaware as children. Thank goodness, at least we were allowed to be so naive. No sexual positions or speak of it in anyway entered our kinder minds. Thank god.
