What a great thread. Brings back so many memories. In addition to the marbles, wall-ball, foot hockey etc. a couple of others I remember are these yo-yos:

I don't remember anyone ever getting seriously injured either, which in retrospect is quite surprising.

Where did you go to junior high school? I swear we went to the same one. Do the names Starlight, Dodginghorse, Big Plume and Crowchild ring any bells?
