SWITCH DAY
EVERY YEAR IN GRADE SCHOOL, ONE DAY WAS DESIGNATED
SWITCH DAY. ON THAT DAY, EVERYONE CARRIED A
LIGHT BRANCH OR SWITCH WITH HIM. IF A BOY HIT A
GIRL WITH THIS SWITCH (OR VICE VERSA) SHE HAD TO
GIVE HIM A PENNY.
Submitter comment: COLLECTOR DOESN'T THINK THIS WAS A FIXED DATE.

I HAVE GIVEN THIS ITEM THE BOGGS NUMBER FOR DYNGUS DAY
