Speaker: Oh we did a lot of skipping, played a lot of tag, played with alleys. Interviewer: Played with alleys? What does it- sorry I don 't understand? Speaker: Marbles, you-know?

Speaker: Oh, well I was very sport-minded. I loved sports so all those teachers were great. Ah games? I suppose alleys was one of the biggest ones in public school. They even had city-wide competitions. Interviewer: What's that? Speaker: With alleys? Interviewer: I don't- I have no idea what that is. Speaker: Do you know what an alley is? Interviewer: I don't- Speaker: It's a little glass ball. Interviewer: Oh. Okay. Speaker: And there was a big ring with a hole in the middle and it was- who could get- throw it the closest or-whatever.

No they weren't that bad. And um in senior-fourth you were always downstairs near the principal's office, that's- and um I remember playing out in the ah yard- school-yard, we played a lot of alleys and we played a lot of hopscotch and the girls did that, I think the boys probably played ball in the summertime.

Speaker: Oh yes, yes. Hopscotch as well. And we played alleys. I can't remember what you call the game, but we all c-- went to school with alleys. Interviewer: Okay. Speaker: Marbles? Interviewer: Oh yeah, yeah. Speaker: We called them alleys back then. Interviewer: Oh really?

Speaker: Marbles! We played marbles a lot. Interviewer: Really? Speaker: Yeah, you'd be gangs of people around the school at recess, hitting the marble on the wall or standing back to see who get the marble or there were alleys, really, who could get the one closest to the wall, that was something else we did.

Speaker: And ever since then she- you-know we- we went out a bit and, or, she'd- she would want- purposely bump into me, or- or-something, you-know, or- or ah, take my alleys or-something. Interviewer: Take your alleys. Speaker: Or give me some alleys (laughs). Interviewer: Tell- what's- tell me about that. What's that? Interviewer 2: Alleys? Speaker: Alleys you-know, you play against the ring boards and- you-know.

Ah, it's 'cause she- she was t-- because ah, they were saying ah um, the other people were saying oh, their- they hid some alleys somewhere and then she's like s-- they- she h-- "They hid them over here," and she was playing wi-- she was just talking to him, not acknowledging them and just you-know, just playing around, just playing with him.
