I just noticed that on my 3rd grade class picture, my Dad wrote Susan "Hell" instead of Susan "Hale". I remember him asking me the names of the people in the class so he could write their names under their pictures. I must have thought her last name was Hell, so that's what he wrote down.

The teacher for the third grade picture I think is Mrs. Spacke, she lived across the city park on the corner from the school, she always carried a yard stick when she had playground duty and would woop you with it if you got into trouble.

Hey Bill - Mrs. Spacke was a fourth grade teacher. I remember she took us all to her house (across from the park) to watch President Kennedy's inauguration on tv. I remember we all sat around on the floor in her living room and watched that little screen (was it in black and white?) And oh yeah! she did carry that yard stick!!! but she was very cool.

I think kids could still use a little yard stick action these days...

Not a user forum topic....

Seeing the photos of the 10 year and 15 year reunions, did anyone ever take any photos of the 20 year and the 30 year reunions? Does anyone out there have any photos of the later reunions to share?

Becky, thanks for sharing the pictures from our trip to the Up With People festival. It is my proof that all I did was KP! :) Didn't we also go to "the mainland" and either sell tickets or try to get people to go the big show? I remember something like that because I remember how big and pretty the houses were.

I think you are right. I remember the same thing. Boy, they really worked us didn't they?

I was reading the history of the moral re-armament movement which was the foundation for Up With People.
Kind of freaky.........we were into it for the fun and we got to go places. For a little Tehachapi girl who rarely got out of town - it was fun.

In one article I read, mention was made of the fact that everyone worked for free. They even talked about sending the kids out to sell tickets door-to-door. Remember that?

After 1968, things began to fall apart and they never achieved the same level of success.

Carrie;

Your right, I stand corrected, thank you.
Ya, these kids today need a good woodshed or yardstick! Look how good we all turned out !!

Bill and Carrie,

I'll second that. Gads, I substitute primarily in the middle schools. I'd love to have a yardstick or a whip. "KIDS GONE WILD". Now days there are no consequences, no support, no discipline,.... Teachers are leaving and finding other work. Twice this year, I've packed my things, locked the classroom door, marched to the office and told them enough! I'm leaving! :o)

P.S.
Substitutes can do that! Teachers can't... There are some classrooms I refuse to work in!

Anyone remember Clifford David? He was with us in jr high. Wonder what ever happened to him..... He signed my yearbook both years with the most unusual message. Anyone else?

Clifford David used to bug the heck out of the 7th grade Math teacher. I can't remember her name. He had the class laughing at his antics.

She eventually would make him sit under her desk so that no one could see him, but even that didn't work.

I figured he be somewhere doing stand-up comedy or on TV, comedian. He was a character. Yah.... it was fun to go to math to see what Clifford would do next. :o)

Didn't he have an older sister too? Wonder what happened to him?

Anyone keep in touch with Clifford David?

Does anyone remember a 2nd grade teacher named Mrs. Winters? or something like that? I can't remember much about 2nd grade except Darlene Grounds was in my class and I decided to stop speaking that year....

I remember Clifford and the time Miss Shuman made him sit under her desk while she was up at the blackboard working, then I guess she forgot he was under there, cause she sat down and pulled her chair up to her desk while we all sat there looking dump-founded when all of a sudden her eyes got as big as dinnerplates and she jumped up and ran out of the classroom only to bring back the principal and drag poor Cliff off to the office. When I talked to him later and asked him what he did to her, he said he just tapped her leg to reminded her he was there!!!
He was the CLASS CUTUP that's for sure, but the girls loved him--- I have pictures !

Oh Bill - you must share those pictures. I'm sure we would all love to see them!

05/05/09 10:27 PM

#116

I think I do remember Mrs. Winters. Anyone else have her who might still have the class picture to share? Would love to post it.
