Teachers Comments Classmate that provided remembrances
Mr. Adamson (with the Driver's Education class)--Who else to put in an old car with a bunch of want-a-be drivers! Somebody had to do it! Melba
Ms. Heller Memories (quotes of Shakespeare as all the guys in the class were seated on the first row?) Melba
Mrs. Hiland A sweet, soft spoken lady. Melba
Ms. Lisenbee Rumors as to what was kept in her desk drawer, which probably was the medicinal remedy necessary to face the challenge of some out-of-control students. Melba
Mr. Parks Throwing chalkboard erasers at boys that were talking. (Boy! do I wish I could do that today!) In typing class that 12 page paper we had to do with no more than 9 errors. Jim S
Mr. Struckel The appreciation for American History that he installed in me an many others. A true friend in later years when I met with him in Vietnam and then Fort Leavenworth, Ks.  General Struckel Inducted to Hall of Fame Jim S
Mr. Hughes I learned a lot in shop class that I still use today. How many of us that were in shop class still have the wood bowel or cedar chest we made. I do! Jim S
Mr. Wolf A man that deserved lots and lots of credit. Have you ever thought how he was so challenged to think he could teach us all to occupy a band chair, actually play good music and make a design of sorts on the football field, not to mention march in local parades. I personally had a hard time walking and chewing gum at the same time. I'd say he held us pretty high! Melba
