1940's: DID YOU EVER PLAY "BUCK-BUCK?"

Today many of our younger generation are clicking on their Ipods, Ipads, Iphones, an Wii units and getting intellectual entertainment; not physical. Before all these 21st century electronic gadgets, we spent hours and hours outdoors, only coming home for lunch and back out again until dinner and in those long days of "Daylight Savings Time," back home until the street lights came on. I dare say there are many in my generation who played that rough and tumble game of Buck Buck, along with many other outdoor activities.

Buck buck how many horns are up?
Worse jumpers were the "padding" right? Also hide and go seek.
In the dark. No t.v.

Played in the alleys around surrounding "Cook Y". Kick the Can was also popular. We played after dark under the one street light there. In the daytime we played softball on the Cook Y field. Always something to do. Always the regular gang around.
