Started into a brand new Eisenhour consolidated school the first year of integration in our rural county . Combined all the 2 and 3 room schools into 1 covering grades 1 thru 8 with no regard for color or religion .....
The teachers met every morning bus and confisticated every knife and pistol from us ......
They gave them back at the end of the day before we boarded the evening busses because they knew we might need them on our way home .
Our bus drivers were nervous seeming individuals that consumed large quantities of alcohol both off duty and on .
Can you blame them--out gunned and out numbered--roflmao
Would drive me to drink too--but then I'am Irish and don't really need an excuse--lol

Well in 56 i wasnt around, but im sure i was in heaven throwing a fit to get here! I just knew there would be a T-Net in my future just wait'n on me to get here!




(PBK? i thought i was finally gonna see a picture of you on that url you just posted :sad10: :crybaby2:)
 
my parents weren't even zygotes yet ;D
 
I was 2 yrs old at the time, being raised by my grandparents.
 
'56......second year of jr. high......no tv in my home, yet. We were one of the poor rich families in town. (Poor, monitarily.....rich, family).
Had a paper route, and when I went out at night collecting for delivering the papers, I would stop for a few minutes and watch whatever happened
to be on the tv. Do remember the mousey kids......but wasn't taken with them. Not "real world" to me.
 
I remember during the Korean War we had the first TV in the neighborhood. We had a house with no sheetrock on the interior walls but we had a TV! The war was taking all the gypsum for something or other and you couldn't get sheetrock. Our TV was part of a TV/HI FI/AM radio console that weighed a ton. There was no FM stations or stereo, and Hi Fi was king. We were really poor but Dad had his priorities. Besides, we had chickens, a couple of pigs and some rabbits for food. We hung blankets up on the walls between bedrooms and the bathroom for privacy. I thought it was so neat just to walk through the walls, watching out for electrical wiring. Several of the neighbors came over and marveled at this thing called TV. We had two good stations that were local and one that was several miles away. If you could turn the rabbit ears just right you could get a snowy picture and sound from the other station. I remember we use to have a fuss every sunday night because "Lassie" came on about the time we had to leave to go to church. We were late a lot because my sister and I would malinger and watch all of "Lassie" we could. I never did find out how Jeff got out of that darn well he fell into. :D Monty

Great post, as always, Monty! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I've told this one before, but that's never stopped me yet...

Arkansas didn't even have TV until 1953. The first TV set I ever saw belonged to some folks who moved here from Georgia. They had a little girl my age, and as soon as they got settled in she invited me over to watch Superman— unaware that there was no station anywhere for over 150 miles.

We sat there for a while, eagerly staring at the "snow"-filled screen. Finally, I said, "I don't think we're going to get to see Superman. I guess I'd better go home."

"No, wait!" she cried, dashing over to the TV and turning the volume all the way up (no remote in those days). Over a roar of "white noise" and static she shouted, "Listen! Hear that? He's coming!"
 
Thats a sweet story PBK....see....it was those brown eyes that got you superman that day.
 
I was 6 years old and in the first grade!
We had 2 tvs. One on top of the other. One for the picture, and the other for sound! lol :)
