What are your favorite memories of grade school? Did you go to Cooper? Maybe the "pink penitentiary"? How about your favorite or least favorite teacher? Let's see how much we can remember.
Mabel Davidson, the mother of Mrs. Russell [Jane] Holt, was an excellent kindergarten teacher to many children. She had a good defense to the noise because she could turnoff her hearing aid. I went to grade school before it became pink. The building was a nice beige color.
Mabel King was an excellent 6th grade teacher as was Ruth Branstetter, later married to Dick Fitzpatrick of Churdan. They raised ten wonderful children and she is still living in Churdan. As all teachers they may seem old to students, but found out she was 23 when she taught me.
Ray Dillard was an excellent literature teacher who had excellent control of his classroom. Laura Herman was a pretty good junior high math teacher. Gustava Price was an excellent history teacher, who traveled to many countries during the summer months bring lots of expertise to her students. Melba Cripe was an excellent English teacher, but for me really shined in speech class. Melba is in her nineties, living in Panora. I enjoyed Tony Andrusyk teaching his economics course. Merle [Doc] Applegate was an excellent science teacher, as well as chemistry and physics and a darn good drivers education teacher. Beryl Morden was an excellent typing teacher, something I used in the Army and currently on the computer. Two best classes speech & typing! They must have taught me how to say and spell excellent, at least seven times! They did all the teaching with large classes and without teaching assistants.
i remember being in the 7 or 8th grade and standing in line for lunch when i felt in a mischevous mood and i said to dick bentz "wow i wish i could grow up and be a music teacher i bet that pays alot" He wasnt amused as his face changed 20 colors of red and steam came out of his ears as he ripped me a new one
oh wait, hes the guy who taught band who used alot of 4 letter words if you werent hitting your notes just right, he was truly the john rowland of the music dept
Frank Porter ruled his class with an iron fist. Outside of the classroom he was amiable, but once you crossed the threshhold he was a real bear. And he used to spit all over the overhead projector.
Roger Olhausen decorated his classroom with bottles of Coke that he beat the kids out of. sometimes they would stretch end to end around the room.
I once saw Norm Pavlik get so angry that he slammed his fist completely through one side of the classroom door and it came out the other. Without even raising his voice.
Tony Andrusyk used to explain that your overall grade would be 25% test scores, 25% daily work, and 50% "other factors". He wouldn't say what those were.
Dale Allensworth's study hall consisted entirely of a piece of paper on a clipboard on which students' names were written. It didn't matter who wrote them down. Attendance was taken entirely from that paper, and it was assumed that if your name was there, so were you (for the entire period).
John Rowland taught us all about South America. He spent an entire semester on it. Has anybody actually used any of that knowledge later in their life?
In Mrs. Bakely's English class we spent a whole sememster diagramming sentences. Ever do that later in life?
I remember Mr. Menz dipping a rubber ball into liquid nitrogen and throwing it against the wall across the room. It shattered into a thousand pieces. He could have put some one's eye out.
mr menz lol oh my, that class was the hardest class i ever took. i mean that i had him for 9th grade science and it was like trying to understand greek philosophy to a 15 yr old kid , wasnt he mostly interested in selling,,,,,,,,,,,amway products?
I remember sitting in class as a sophmore when Dale Allensworth pulled down the screen for the overhead projector. In the middle of the screen was a Playboy centerfold. Mark Gillespie had put in on the screen the year before and Dale hadn't pulled it down before. The most remarkable thing was that Mark was in the room when it happened. Dale looked at it, complimented the choice and kept it for later. Hilarious.
I remember that we used to think it was a real hoot to turn the gas on in Mr. Brunner's science class, and leave it on until he would finally smell it and have to go searching for the open valve. Hard to believe we all lived through that.
The bus trip to Cooper every day and back was a real trip. I remember everyone would be fighting over where they sat. Then on band days, everybody brought their instrument and sat them in the aisle. There was absolutely no room to spare. No one wanted to sit up front. The ride was so short that the driver didn't even try to maintain order. He just drove faster.
I remember you had to get on an assigned bus. You couldn't just hop on a bus. If you missed your bus, the driver just told you that you were screwed. Unreal.
At the Cooper school, the walls were hollow. You could enter the walls through the back of your locker, and emerge down the hallway out of another locker.
Better yet, you could be standing in somebody's locker when they unlocked it.
My memories of the pink school house are before it became "pink." The event that most vividly stands out in my mind is a Richard Keith getting a paddling in the middle of the hallway on the third floor for carving his initials on a bathroom stall. Needless to say, everyone on that floor was very quiet and timid the rest of that day.
I didn't have Dan Benitz as a teacher. I believe him to be a great shop teacher, who has built plenty of homes with students and should be recognized. I can only imagine the patience and diligence necessary to check the work and motivate the guys going as time is running out on the school year, with another home needing to be completed.
Dan impresses me as a Joe Gibbs-type leader by example, who explains and encourages well and often.
They won't be exporting the jobs of many of the tradesmen he has taught. He has helped equip many students to perform honey-do lists many of us devoid and ignorant of those skills would dread.
Trades and Industry classes are often overlooked by youngsters when choosing electives in high school. As Dave states, they teach skills that everyone should know.
If Diamond Dave lacks some of these skills, I would say that you're never too old to learn them.
There is a distinct learning curve that you will often notice. People will reach an age at which they will stop learning and adapting to new ideas and new technology. Up to about age 55 or 60, people will keep up. After that they will plateau, and refuse to learn new things. At about age 75 or so, the start forgetting what they alreadt new, and the curve goes in the other direction.
In the early 60's they had a bust displayed on the stage in the study hall, third floor of high school [now middle school.] It seems a student placed a bra on the bust and then covered it with a T-shirt. Mrs. Morden came into the room as monitor and saw it. She took the T-shirt off only to see the bra. Everyone laughed as she carried the Bust away, never to be seen again.

I agree John Rowland controlled this building for years!! He was so even tempered!

Robert Lutz smacking kids on the back of their heads with that giant ring on his finger for not wearing socks to class.
I still remember Mrs. Reese with her favorite phrase, "I hear voices - where are they?"

I have a buddy who went completely through the Jefferson school system from k-12 and never once met Jack Oatts.
who's jack oatts??
oh wait, hes the guy who taught band who used alot of 4 letter words if you werent hitting your notes just right, he was truly the john rowland of the music dept
Mr. Lee Covault, 7th grade Industrial Arts teacher, was excellent. Another outstanding teacher was Norm Pavlik, 9th grade algebra.
Students in the Jefferson school system were very lucky to have the high quality of teachers we had.
These people are often taken for granted yet played a valuable and unforgettable role in our lives.

Do they still have mini-studies in junior high in Jefferson? I remember taking bachelor cooking (Dick Bentz) and karate (Norm Pavlik).
I can't talk about much of what I did in school, even though the limitations thing has run out on most of it.

How about fire drills? Those were a real hoot. Fire drills at the pink school.

Hilarious.
Anyone else remember that board John Barber usedf to keep in his office? He always claimed it was for paddling unruly youngsters. Any truth to that?

I remember doing exactly the same thing. Late 70's.
Anybody else have Mrs. Morden? Or Mr. Perrin?
Remember your home room teachers? Anybody else have John Rowland for home room?

Rick, if the walls at Cooper had been hollow, the building would have been condemned, not opened up for children.
Trust me, the walls at Cooper were as hollow as your head.

You suppose he got beat again when he got home that day?
It was probably Kieth Richards.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
That attitude is why so many retired people refuse to use their computer for anything but an expensive email delivery system.

I think I heard that Dan Benitz was retiring after this year. He will be missed.
