Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

One thing I always loved about P.E. class was when we got to sit under this thing for a few moments while it deflated. It happened maybe 2 or 3 times during the school year. Everything was good with life when that thing came out to the gym floor. No stress or care in the world...for we had the parachute dome to sit under.

We had dodgeball when I was in the public school system. When I switched to Catholic school, they called it murder ball. Same game, but you were allowed to aim for people's heads.

Take away the nun's rulers, give permission to the class bully to drill a ball at your head .... Corporal punishment survives into the 1980's.

Dodgeball was the best.
.....and floor hockey too!

Be right back.

 

[PUSH]

Be right back.

Okay, but after you're back can you tell me what brb means?

 

[SteveBrickNJ]

Be right back.

Ah ha !
Thank you!

That's pretty good!
My post was lame compared to PUSH's witty remark.

Whatever happened to the gyms in new schools? Everyone called it the gym for as long as I can remember..

There's a new school that was just built in my area, and they don't have anything called a gym. What they have is something called a Health and Wellness Center. Boy, those kids will get a rude awakening when they have to take the usual, horrid gym classes, in their fancy Health and Wellness Center!

At one school I went to for a couple years we had a cafa-chapel-nasium. We usually just called it the gym but it functioned as the cafeteria, chapel, and gymnasium.

Great song!

I'm too young for that version. I'm more of 1985 Power Station girl myself.

Our regional district built a new state-of-the-art high school that opened my sophomore year with a cafetoriium. It was basically a cafeteria with a stage. Boy were we impressed!

Parachute day was second only to safety town. When we saw those cones set up with working traffic lights, all sorts of activity stations and those little square scooters we knew it would be an awesome week.

Loved dodgeball. Welts and all.

My kids' elementary school has a cafetorium.

I shamefully have to admit that it took me forever to realize that you have to be aggressive to play dodgeball successfully. The meek die young. As soon as I overcame my fear of pain, I was quite good at the game.

Pass.

Pass.

Basically that is what happened, but it was someone else passing stuff!

I loved the feeling of power when you caught the ball and stared down the person you were targeting. Good stuff.

Absolutely, especially when you ran toward the ball instead of "dodging" it. Made you feel like a superhero.

Did you guys play Red Rover?

Two teams lined up opposite each other and took turns calling, "Red Rover, Red Rover send [insert name here] over" then they held hands and the person running over tried to bust through?
