It keeps them busy and peaceful for 15 minutes to a half -hour a long time in teacher minutes. To keep things calm, students can't bring their own pog games to classs.

Kuhlo also uses the game as a teaching tool, putting multiplication and division problems on the caps. Students who successfully flip the caps must solve the problem before claiming points. Other ideas are to put colors, ABCs or numbers on the caps for younger children to identify, says Kuhlo. Anita Vutro, a computer teacher for All Saints School in St. Peters, says she doesn't know much about pog.

But she remembers that when she was a student, dice were banned and even confiscated at her school. Now, she says, dice are used to teach kindergartners to count. At Castlio Elementary School in the Francis Howell district, the game hasn't caught on, said art teacher Susan Fritsche. But she thought it would be "kind of neat" if some students designed their own milk caps. "When I was in school we were making record album covers," she said.

Her son Elliot, 12, an avid milk caps player, offers these tips: Play on the carpet, a book or a magazine if you don't own a slam board. Sit rather than stand to get a good hit. Hit the slammer on the edge of the pog. Let go of the slammer when your hand is close to the caps. Elliot has some final advice: "If your principal lets you bring 'em to school, bring 'em to school and show everybody." ST.

However, the game is "a nuisance and a disturbance in class," because pupils play in the hall or during study hall. So, students were told to leave their games at home.

"If you call that banned, then I guess it's banned," he said with a laugh. "It's like paper airplanes, rubber bands and paper clips," he added. "They've all come and gone. Now it's pogs." Pogs, however, are more collectible than rubber bands and paper clips. Their appeal is an ever-changing series of designs, from football heroes to holograms of Jesus.

Cartoon characters, team or business logos, endangered species, movie stars, famous artists and just plain art adorn the flip side of milk caps. Prices start at 29 cents for 6ne, or five for $1.25. Some consider the slammers or trouncers, which cost between $1 to $6, to be the most collectible. The most popular slammer at Mr. Bulky's in Mid Rivers Mall, St.

Peters, is the brass-colored metal Ninja. The Ripper, a metal slammer that looks like a saw blade, is also popular, says Howard Soli of All-Star Sports Cards, 12927 Olive Street Road in west St. Louis County. So far, Soil's customers are more interested in the game itself than in the collectible side of milk caps, he says. Last week he sold $125 in milk caps and accessories to a woman with seven grandchildren.

Most of his customers are kids, "as many girls as boys," he added. Teachers also buy the game for their classrooms. They use the game to reward good students or to keep students busy during recess one of the original uses of the revived game.
