on a lighter note...

We did not have fancy gadgets like that in the photo. Our very rural school had first through fourth grade in one room and fifth through eighth grade in another room. One teacher per room. Total students both rooms maybe forty. A 25 mile bus ride for high school. Attendance was not good . There was hay to pitch, post holes to dig and cattle to work

Yep. The last HS I taught in Montana had 22 kids including 7th & 8th grade. Elementary a few (empty) blocks away was four rooms including the cafeteria where we also had lunch. I sometimes rode my horse to school and picketed her in the empty lot across the street. About four miles one way. My Lab usually went to school with me and laid on the maintenance guy's couch in the boiler room. She'd walk to elementary with me for lunch and play with the kids on playground while I ate. Saw a fine buck just across the Yellowstone River while driving to school one snowy morning in season. Told my only senior boy to grab the barmaid's kid and get him to shoot it with my Springfield under back seat of my '73 Wagoneer. She was a single mom and they needed the meat badly. Hung it in the bus shop till head coach and I could cut it up for them. Shot a lot of Huns and sharpies driving in to that school. Those were the days. Too bad it didn't stay that way. Full of transplants and McMansions today.

A woman sat in the doctors office, and suddenly felt a hand slide from her shoulder to her breast..."Doctor, that not my shoulder," she said. He replied, "It's OK, I'm not the doctor"....
 
You betchum, Red Ryder. I put countless rolls through one of them. We'd buy them by the box.
Once I learned that you could set off a whole roll by smacking it with a hammer the rolls very seldom found their way into the pistol.
