The first song sounds like it is to <a href="http://www.kidsongs.com/lyrics/the-caissons-go-rolling-along.html" rel="nofollow">The Caissons Go Rolling Along</a> -- we had to memorize it for a strings festival or two, and it's also known as the army theme song.

I got sent to the principal a lot : ) <br />I also remember having the mumps and how much they hurt. I had the measles and chicken pox too.<br />Leonorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701518822526054010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-43886455517048744312014-01-24T09:14:35.925-05:002014-01-24T09:14:35.925-05:00Kids don't get mumps anymore.

They started giving the mmr / mumps measles and rubella vaccine years ago which pretty much eradicated it I believe. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-53995079852597039302014-01-24T08:31:46.196-05:002014-01-24T08:31:46.196-05:00I think some of my teachers were born near the tur...I think some of my teachers were born near the turn of the last century, they just had to have been in their 60s in the 60s.<br />A couple could have walked on to the set of the wizard of oz and everyone would have yelled "the witch is here, let's get started", and that would be without makeup, just the way they entered the room would do it. Of course I had some nice ones but man some were hateful and had no business in a classroom.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.com
