Unfortunately the skunk has expired...along with the monkey! Now that was the meanest animal that everl lived. Michelle Shadburn came over one time and everytime she came near it the awful thing tried to pee on her. My Dad never said much to us, but he kept us in exotic pets that's for sure!

Our Principal and Assistant Principal do the paddling at the school and I have to admit the AP doens't quite light a fire like the Principal. I have actually sent kids up there and requested the Principal for their discipline. They are both very fair ladies and I really don't think they paddle witout good reason,a dn only in extreme cases. I have actually sent kids up there, and if they know the home situation is bad, they have lunch with the kids and model approprite behavior. The Pricipal never paddles when she is very angry either. I watched a kid spit in her face one time and she waited until she had calmed down to paddle him. I would not be able to send kids to the office if I didn't trust our administration.

It means a lot...you want someone who is fair. You fall in love with the kids you teach and you become very protective of them. This last year my students came from really bad homes, and that makes it even harder. I hate to send them to the office, and I couldn't stand to see them punished if I did fully trust the people in charge.

I will admit though as a practical joke a couple of the other teachers and myself bought her a cricket bat (which looks like a HUGE paddle) and engraved: "Besure your sins will find you out!" on one side adn "With Liberty and justice for all." on the other. (The name of our school is Liberty Elementary). We have fun!

Does anyone remember the day Mr. Hopper told either Becky Hughes or Heather Jones they were "like Moses...lost in the desert. They didn't know where they had come from and didn't know where they were going". I never admitted it, but there were days I felt that way in his class. Oh, and how about Angie Gaines cussing in German...that went over real well he understood every word!!!

Hey Nat!

Joey Dean Does any one remember when I mooned Mrs Hamilton and Mrs Savage when we went to the worlds fair in Knoxville TN after that I got to stay up and watch Johnny Carson with them every night. Oh yea Chris Giroux wet the bed but he tried to play it off by saying he was dreaming he was in the bathroom and how we stayed in those trailers that had wall in the halls to make them into two rooms.

Now Patrick that's funny I had forgot that one! Lord, there is no telling what my students call me!

I did have a kid call me a hoe last year. She also used another word, but it was really fun to look at the kid and calmly say...."you misspelled hoe"! She was so upset that I wasn't devestated. All I could think about was Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night live doing Velvet Jones.."How to be a Ho!

Christy Bridges (Pirkle) Coach Hanson always reminded me of a turtle.....

Natalie Clark (Mitchell) I see that our senior pictures are on our profiles now. I really can't believe it's been 20 years.

06/13/08 10:26 PM	#452
Natalie Clark (Mitchell) I also remember Coach Hanson hanging out of his room at break trying to be funny. One of his favorite jokes was Hi Ryman and Hi Ry-woman to Deinna. I also remember he and maybe Coach Knight trying to break up a fight outside his room and did not come out of it without a scratch. One of them received a bloody nose.

Laura Simpson (Kell) He always reminded me of a turtle too! How funny is that! Erica, I don't think I ever heard your dad say more than 5 words over all the years! I can't believe no one has brought up Coach Edwards or Mr. Blankenship.

06/13/08 10:33 PM	#454
Christy Bridges (Pirkle) well Coach Edwards isn't worth mentioning....

06/13/08 10:37 PM	#455

Well, I can't really bring up Mr. Blankenship without dirty words. I remember my chemistry partner was David Glickman (remember him-the guy with the mohawk). Well, during a chemistry experiment he wrote a letter to his girlfriend and then wanted to copy all of my work. Well, I wouldn't let him have it and I guess we were causing a scene because Mr. Blankenship came running back there and made us come to his desk. Well, after I explained everything he told me in so many words to let him have it. I told him no way and then we ended up in Mrs. Rockmart's (?) office. He never got the work.

I didn't take Physics because of him. But lucky me got him for homeroom the next year. I spent probably 3/4 of my breaks in his room because I was "talking" during the announcements. One day Rod Lovell got into a fight with someone out in the hallway by his classroom when I was in there and he ran out to break it up. He came back in with a bloody nose. I was like serves you right.

No one has brought up Mrs. Keesee. Remember, "My sinuses are draining to my stomach and making me nauseous". I think she said that every day.

Natalie Clark (Mitchell) Hi Erica. I'm glad things are going well for you. I never knew you had all those animals.

06/13/08 10:46 PM	#458
Joey Dean I always though Mr. Blankenship was wolf man jack

06/13/08 10:50 PM	#459
Christy Bridges (Pirkle) well... Blankenship wasn't my favorite either... he seemed too rushed too annoyed when I took chemistry

06/13/08 10:52 PM	#460
Christy Bridges (Pirkle) I guess my favorite high school teacher was Mrs. Hall. I loved her... I also liked Mrs. Cleveland

06/13/08 10:54 PM	#461
Christy Bridges (Pirkle) the one I didn't like at all was Coach Edwards.... we all know why.....

06/13/08 10:59 PM	#462
Joey Dean the only class i failed in high school was PE because after something that happened in the locker room one day i would never go in their and dress out again

06/13/08 10:59 PM	#463
Laura Simpson (Kell) I will never forget when Nat went with my family to the beach. We're out at a restaurant and and she shouts "Coach Edwards!" He was not a favorite of my fanily. I thought my parents would die! Mr. Barfield was my favorite.

06/13/08 11:03 PM	#464
Joey Dean I have two favorites Mrs Amason and Mrs Kimbro

06/13/08 11:03 PM	#465
Laura Simpson (Kell) Oh it had to do with White and baseball. I do remember getting a B on some notebook we had to turn and all the cross country people got A's. Not that the cross country people didn't deserve A's but my notebook had the same stuff in it.

06/13/08 11:06 PM	#466
Laura Simpson (Kell) Christy, I should post the pictures of us with Santa and The Easter Bunny. I just can't figure out our scanner. It keeps saying to install but I have!

Natalie Clark (Mitchell) Remember the mirrors in his classroom. Also, how he sent all the girls to run the errands. My favorites were Coach Farr and I loved Mrs. Giddens too.
