Magnolia Middle School - Magnolia, Arkansas

I hate it that the kids can't go off campus to eat breakfast or lunch like my generation could. When we had to have a campus pass to be able to go off campus. My favorite place to go eat lunch at was taco tico. And if we couldn't go off campus eat yucky cafeteria food. And if we couldn't go off campus for whatever, a teacher would watch us like a hawk so we wouldnt sneak off campus. I mess the days when we would have our parents take us "extra early" to eat breakfast at mcdonalds, the burger king, or at the spudnut to eat breakfast with us. When we would spend Friday or Saturday nights with our best friends. The days when kids rode motorcycles to school. When, if we got in bad enough trouble, we would get sent to the office and get a paddling from the principal. Some of the teachers would paddle us at the front of class, in front of everyone. And the days when we would peek over the persons shoulder sitting in front of us stealing an answer when we was taking tests.I mess the days when we would walk to main street to the public library (which is part of farmers bank now)with friends to do "afternoon homework" when school was out for the day. When we would throw spitballs at each other. Or at the teachers when they had their backs turned busy writing on the black boards. Or sitting at their desk grading papers. And we would pass notes around, and if we got caught, depending on what the note said, would get us sent to the office. And sometimes the princable would call our parents to come pick us up. And we would get grounded. But sometimes that would be good because we would get to stay home from school. And being extra quite sneeking out of class down the hallways spying & talking our girlfriends through the class door windows and sneek back in class without getting caught. And if someone got caught cheating on somebodies boyfriend/girlfriend, or got called certain names we would get in fistfights during recess, lunch or after school and bunches of kids would stand around to watch. I don't know(I seriously dought it)if any of our teachers from back in those days are still alive today.When we would sing american legence to the flag from the front offices big radio to each classrooms little speaker that was mounted on the wall. When it was recess time, hide somewhere outside and smooch, hug, hold hands & bond with our boyfriends/girlfriends. And hope we didn't get caught. Before there was cell phones we would have to find a payphone somewhere when we needed to call someone. And the bus driver would let someone stay at front opening and closing the doors to let kids on and off the bus.
When we had a buzz buy convenience store on corner. And before school started,at lunch, or after school, run over there to get a coke, candy bar & chips to eat. Or save our lunch money everyday so we would have more money on Friday nights. And blow our money at one of the three arcades magnolia had back then. One was where dollar general is. Or use it to take our dates to the show(cameo). The days when, who had cars, who had the loudest stereo and who cars could get from point A to point B first. And the big sport back then was high school football. When our schools looked completely different then they look now. When magnolia was a 'booming little town'. I'm 50 yrs old now. Yup, 'those were the good 'ol days'.
