We had records that had the music on only one side. One of them was "The Jolly Coppersmith". I could still sing a few bars of that for you! My brother and I would crank up the Victrola, but just a few turns on the crank. Then we would roll on the floor laughing when the music got slower and slower, and the voice got lower and lower.
We played with tinker toys and could order more pieces through the mail if there were more we needed. We could order only one spool or one stick if that is what we wanted. A few pennies, and postage wasn't much either.
I was a teacher at a one room school: all eight grades! I still do that, but I re-enact 1904 for 4th graders.
I didn't see outdoor drive- in movies mentioned. My daughter told me today that she asked her niece if she had ever been to a drive-in. The niece said, "No, but I've been to a walk-in." Ha, ha!
