Gosh, I loved Mr. Barnes class. One of the great lessons I learned from him is how to shoot a housefly with a rubberband. Tom, do you remember the sewage pipe that leaked on my desk in his class? Consequently, I wore a shower cap in class one day, brought an umbrella the next. He was so good natured, he laughed right along with all of us.
Remember how Mr. Barnes always had someone go over to Pumpkin's class and ask Charlie if "Pi R square" and Mr. Pumpkin would always reply, "No, pie are round"
I have very fond memories of Mrs. Gibbons also. She taught us so much about Africa, especially Kenya. Always wanted to be a world traveler after that.
Sandie, thanks for the reminder of that voting booth in Mrs. Hall's class. She was a real inspiration to me...the first teacher that told me I should become and attorney because I was so argumentative... (Rob McNutt always said that, too! lol)
I also fondly remember poetry reading in Ms. Buwalda's (sp) class. She is my part-time neighbor down the street. She and her husband spend part of the year in that great old Haas' house above Big Spring Park (her grand-parents place) She spends half the year in Texas, I believe.
Remember when Linda Smith called Mr. Rex Black "pencil neck"...I have never laughed so hard and the nickname stuck...LMAO That was out at the Crowder annex school we got bussed to, like a refugee camp. My folks always said they did that to us to try to get the voters to pass the next bond issue. I remember Shelly Houk, Linda Smith, Ava Bell and I being confronted by a MEAN RAT out there...My parents were livid and called the school board.
Gosh, I could go on and on...Thanks everyone for rekindling all these memories!
