Mr. Senzon , Mr. Hayes and Mr. Brunelle were the SORCERERS of SCIENCE for me... as Mr. Ziff ;D, Mr. Pulcini ;D and Mr. Berger (FTA) put the MAGIC in MATH. These inspirational gentlemen encouraged me to follow my dreams to make teaching my life-long career. I am grateful for having them as my role-models .

Abe Satnick [and his infamous "self-control" chart] was by far my favorite. I had him for 4th grade at the Manor school and for 6th grade in the High Schoo '58-'59. Mrs. Miller [Penny and Pam's mom} used to have me over on Saturdays to play checkers. But one of my all-time favorites was actually a substitute - Mrs. Maasch. She would actually take over the lesson plan and TEACH. Her hearing was terrific and could hear a pin drop in the last row. She said that it was because she had lost her sense of smell from a formaldyhyde accident.

It amazes me to read facts about our teachers that each class year has probably heard over and over. For example, Mrs. Maasch and her acute sense of hearing. It's true.
How about the sub teacher who who flip out when you said "Tippy Canoe and Tyler Too." I can attest because I said it to her and she went bonkers.

I remember Mrs. Kirk who substituted would go nuts if you said "shut up" in her class. Its really funny, because this is one of those words that upsets me when my son or any of his friends use. Mrs. Masch, was actually the mother of Jeannie Masch who also graduated in 68 with me. She also has a sister too, who looked just like her. They were both at the 2003 July Reunion and brought pictures. They are all in Oregon or Washington state as I remember. I also had Mrs. Miller for 5th grade and she lived across the street from where we lived. So I would see this very staunch tall women, with hardly any emotion on her face, walk to and from the Manor ever day. I remember her reading to our class from the book, The Rose Garden (I think) and telling us all kinds of tales about Arkansas (Again if memory serves me correctly I think this is where she was from). Now that I live in Texas, I understand her demenior more and why she probibly hated being in the "North" with all those "Yankees".

Mrs. Miller was a real sweetheart !! Since I took the bus to the Manor school, I never saw her walking to and from her house. But in class (3rd grade) Mrs. Miller was all smiles and fondly involved with all of her students.
Mrs. Kirk, on the other hand, tended to be a bit more austere. I remember, too, her "shut up" reaction.
Mrs. Maasch's "other" daughter was Linda (class of '66 or '67). She played the oboe in the band. She was a real sweetie.

It was Mrs Kirk. I think her son ran for vice president and bombed out. The Tippy Canoe was the campaign slogan or something. I was in 5th grade so I don't know the specifics.

Yes, "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" was a buzz saw for Mrs. Kirk. But I thought her son was an author of biographies. Never did figure out why the phrase bugged her so much, but there was a tendency back then not to share a lot with fifth graders.
I also remember her proclaiming, repeatedly, that "In Boston, the Lowells speak only to Cabots, and the Cabots speak only to God."
Except I thought she said "Cod", and I could never figure out why these people were talking to a fish.

I had a great teacher for business law, but I can't remember his name. Anyone remember who taught business law back in the mid 70's?

Thanks, it was Mr. McNichols. I thought he was a great teacher. We had an interesting group of about 13 or 14 people in the class, ranging from 10th through 12th graders. I am now a practicing attorney and note that several of the lessons he taught got me "A's" in law school! I asume that he is loooooong retired by now.

ah yes, Ms. Stoddard. She got me interested in Thoreau, Emerson, reading. After all these years she is one of the very few who stands out. Another: Ms. Sandy deQuillfeldt. She was an art teacher, but also a dancer, theatre director, talented and fascinating human being and a HUGE inspiration to many of her students. Oh, and Ms. Bernstein! She was my 11th grade geometry teacher ...thanks to her I got 100 on my regents exam. I never thought I was any good at math until then. She made a huge difference. And last but not least, Miss Carley. Muchissimas gracias para todo! Thank you all.
