Prairie Girls




Tayler
                                    by Collette

Tayler here. We had our first “duck and cover” drill today. It isn’t like our fire drills where we get to go outside. For this drill, we stay in the classroom, get under our desks and cover our heads with our arms. I really don’t understand how this will save us from the “big bomb,” whatever that is. Why would someone want to drop a bomb on my little school? There are places all over town where people can take shelter if a bomb is dropped. Who would do that?

My dad showed us a missile “silo” on the way to Wichita. He tried to explain how it works, but I don’t understand it. It scares me. When I am afraid I hold my Barbie doll very tightly.


Favorite Outfit
        by Judy
I went to school in the 1950’s. Around the middle of August, my mother and I picked out materials from the fabric department of either the J.C. Penney store or the Montgomery Wards store in our town. Mother thought (and I did, too), I needed a new dress for the first day of school. My favorite outfit was a black and turquoise printed skirt paired with a solid turquoise blouse mother sewed for me. Turquoise is still one of my favorite colors.
