Yes, Pat, the cafeteria was in the "old" 2nd grade classroom. We had to scrape the trays and then take them to the kitchen. We alternated weeks - one week we worked in the kitchen and the other week we worked at scrapping trays. One food that I learned to like was saurerkraut. I would mix it in with mashed potates and eventually could eat it without mixing it. Today I love a good Reuben sandwich.
I remember Mr. Dodez class where he would read us a chapter of "The Sugar Creek Gang" book right after lunch if we were good in the morning.
Mr. Badertscher (our seventh grade teacher) was my least
favorite teacher. I remember when he used to bang some of the boys heads on the desk. Today, he would be brought up on charges - which he should have then!
Now to catch up on some things,
Since graduating.. ..I have lived in Arlington, MA. and then
Schenectady, NY before moving to Tribes Hill, NY (a small hamlet between Amsterdam and Utica.) I worked for Campbell Plastics a
division of Standard Products for 20 years until they closed in 1987. I was first a buyer and then was Purchasing Manager. After they closed I was employed as a contract buyer for GE until I retired in 2000.
Since that time, I have been kept busy with a small custom
sewing business as well as working with my husband Jim in developing a small orchard and eventually (hopefully this year) building an earth bermed home which we have designed. I have two children Vonda lives in
Richmond, VA and Craig lives in jenkintown, PA. We have two
grandchildren, Rebekke 15 and Richard 12.
The one that really keeps me busy is the 8 year old - Jack Russell Terrior. - Mindy. Still acts like a puppy and loves to jump in the pond after the frogs. Good mouser and snake catcher also.
Still involved with the Purchasing group - locally NAPM -ENY (National Association of Purchasing Management Eastern New York) as their
Professional Development Leader. on the Forum level, I am
Secretary/Treasurer of the ISM New York/New Jersey Forum. Have
recently changed church affiliation. For the past 40 years I have been a member of the Reformed Church and last year became a Methodist.
Both my husband and I continue to serve as Counselors at the

You correct.? Third grade was taught by Hazel Nussbaum but got married during the year to become Mrs. Himes.? In April, I changed from the one one room school house, Sonneberg, just across from Salem Mennonite Church.? My dad built a new house on the Kidron Road and I rode Mr. Showalter's bus to Dalton for the remainder of third grade and all of 4th grade.? By then, Kidron Elementary was built and I went there for grades 5-8.? Yes, I remember doing "gymnastics" in the girls bathroom during the noon hour.?

Good to hear from you again on the group's site.? Ah yes.....Mr.
Badertscher.? He was one of my most memorable teachers.?? I
don't know what I was doing, probably talking when I shouldn't have been, but
without warning...WHACK.. across the side of my face!?? I
didn't even see him coming!?? I probably deserved it, but by today's
standards it would be taboo.
?
Does anyone know if any of our teachers are still
alive and if so, which ones?

Yes, Pat, the cafeteria was in the "old" 2nd grade classroom. We had
to scrape the trays and then take them to the kitchen. We alternated
weeks - one week we worked in the kitchen and the other week we worked
at scrapping trays. One food that I learned to like was saurerkraut.
I would mix it in with mashed potates and eventually could eat it
without mixing it. Today I love a good Reuben sandwich.
I
remember Mr. Dodez class where he would read us a chapter of "The
Sugar
Creek Gang" book right after lunch if we were good in the
morning.
Mr. Badertscher (our seventh grade teacher) was my least
favorite
teacher. I remember when he used to bang some of the boys heads
on the
desk. Today, he would be brought up on charges - which he should
have
then!
Now to catch up on some things,
Since
graduating....I have lived in Arlington, MA. and then
Schenectady,
NY before moving to Tribes Hill, NY (a small hamlet
between Amsterdam
and Utica.) I worked for Campbell Plastics a
division of Standard
Products for 20 years until they closed in 1987.
I was first a buyer and
then was Purchasing Manager. After they closed
I was employed as a
contract buyer for GE until I retired in 2000.
Since that time, I
have been kept busy with a small custom sewing
business as well as
working with my husband Jim in developing a small
orchard and eventually
(hopefully this year) building an earth bermed
home which we have
designed. I have two children Vonda lives in
Richmond, VA and Craig
lives in jenkintown, PA. We have two
grandchildren, Rebekke 15 and
Richard 12.
The one that really keeps me busy is the 8 year old -
Jack Russell
Terrior. - Mindy. Still acts like a puppy and loves to jump
in the
pond after the frogs. Good mouser and snake catcher
also.
Still involved with the Purchasing group - locally NAPM -ENY
(National
Association of Purchasing Management Eastern New York) as
their
Professional Development Leader. on the Forum level, I am
Secretary/Treasurer of the ISM New York/New Jersey Forum. Have
recently changed church affiliation. For the past 40 years I have been
a member of the Reformed Church and last year became a Methodist.
Both my husband and I continue to serve as Counselors at the
Reformed
Church camp in upstate New York. Especially like working with
the 4th,
5th and 6th graders.
Have enjoyed reading various
memories, will try to be more diligent
about joining in.

Pat,

Yes Freida Moser was the cook.? Everyone was afraid of her except me.? We were friends from church and she lived down the street from us.? Her daughter Margie who was a year ahead of us in school came to our house all the time.? Carolyn Horst was?Freida's?helper in the cafeteria.? We helped in the little back room to wash dishes and trays.? That was a long time ago.

My wife is a genius with a digital camera (see the photo)
My wife, Rose (of San Antone fame), somehow got a picture of me for the
yahoo group. She has the digital camera, not me. I still am a 35 mm
film person. Anyways, this photo is from October 2006. That was the
last trip we took (other than going back to Dalton/Orrville to see
relatives). The Oregon coast is a very scenic place with good views
and many brewpubs. We went on a brewery tour, not a wine tour.
However, we did go on a wine tour in Fredericksburg , Tx last weekend.
If you can believe this (I can't), the Texas hill country is second
only to the Napa Valley as far as wineries to visit.
Someday a bio will be posted.

Re: cafeteria and teachers
I remember one incident with Mr. Badertscher.? One day my dad and I went to the airport to pick up someone and saw him standing at the fence where they unload.? Assuming he was meeting someone my dad asked him.? He stated no that he just liked to come to the airport and watch the people.? OK!

Ok I cant stand it another minute.....here is the poem I remember
?
The man in the moon as he sailed thru the sky was a very important skipper
But he made a mistake when he tried to take a drink of milk from the dipper
He dipped it into the milky way and slowly and carefully filled it
But the big bear growled and the little bear howled and scared him so that he spilled it.
Good night ............................ |

Yeah!? Finally someone with a recall!? Thank you so much...I have been sitting here at my notebook waiting for
Someone to let me know that I am not?losing it!? I even emailed Shirley moser to see if she remembered the cafeteria as I think she worked in there too.? I know that the more we share the more things start to come around again.? Ain't it great!? Thanks Betty Ann for sharing your memories.? That is one of my favorite combo's also but just on new years eve.? Thanks for letting us know what you have been doing.?? I suggest you and others make a separate page of your life since high school and then you can add to it as you recall and perhaps we can all turn them in ahead of time so we can have a booklet made for classmates.? We should limit it to 1000 words or less.? My husbands reunion did that and one gal wrote about two pages.? Too much information!
