I'm so old I remember....saturday morning tv...Sky King, Fury, Charlie Chan movies..Sunday night Ed Sullivan Show. WOW I feel OLD!!!!
Old try Jack Benny - Milton Burrell - Groucho Marks - George & Gracie Burns... Jackie Gleason & Honeymooners that's prime time Black & White.. 2-3 channels 4 if the winds blown in the right direction.
I enjoyed watching this. It's fun to see how Elvis made eye contact with his backup team while performing. and making the silly faces while singing. I don't remember that. He was such a natural with the moves that became so popular. No one has ever done it the same.
I still remember my first day of school in my tiny village of 342 people. A "Schultüte" (or School Cone,) often also called Zuckertüte is a large paper cone.
When children in Germany and Austria set off for their first day in school upon entering first grade, their parents and/or grandparents present them with a big cardboard cone, prettily decorated and filled with toys, chocolate, candies, school supplies, and various other goodies. It is given to children to make this anxiously awaited first day of school a little bit sweeter. I even continued this tradition with all my 4 children!

Nice story.
Alas, the only "school cone" that I remember was the paper one that the teachers occasionally placed on my head and had me sit in the corner in the front of the classroom.
I remember from grade 1-4 we had Slate boards we wrote on instead of paper.
