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!

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.

The fifth grade teacher was Ernest Dodez.? I guess only the girls had their backs rubbed, a subject about which I was clueless.? A teacher who did that today would be out of a job quickly and maybe spend some time in jail,as well as having to register as a sex offender.

Yes, Margaret was in the class of '58.? In fact, Gwen sent me a copy of the Dalton Gazette that had a picture of that class at their 50th reunion - thanks, Gwen.? I don't think I would recognize many of them if I met them on the street.

I don't change the font in Yahoo, I change it in Outlook.? Because the replies go through Yahoo, it has the opportunity to make changes.? I notice that it adds the ads on the side to the messages.

I just remember bringing my Roy Rogers lunch pail to school with me.? I don't recall where I ate my lunch, which always included Ovaltine in a thermos.? I guess?I ate in the cafeteria (wherever it was).? Was the teacher Paul Dodez who was our fifth grade teacher?? ?I kind of remember his name was spelled differently from the way it was pronounced.? By the way, nobody ever rubbed my back.? All I remember is that everyone feared going to??the principal's office because he was the one who was designated to paddle you with a paddle (I think, or maybe it was a belt) if you were naughty (and got caught).? I must have been sneaky.? I don't recall getting spanked.? Maybe I was the teacher's pet.? I think Carl Gift was the principal for the grade school.

As for Mrs. Mumaw, I remember that name because in church when we sang the Doxology, I thought we were singing "Praise god from Mumaw Blessings Flow".?? I never could figure out how her name got in that song.? I still don't know.? Even today, when I sing the Doxology, I think of Mrs. Mumaw (a legend, apparently).

Bu the way, who remembers Big C'hief tablets with the mega spacing between lines?

Re: grade school cafeteria/valentines/note passing

Patricia Dearolf Lee
 

I am so glad that you shared your feeling about the mean
teachers.....i thought all of the teachers were mean, especially mrs
mumaw. or they were all grouchy or mad about something? i did not
like mr dody as he made me stand in the coat closet and also left
bruce adams drag me thru the seats at recess! he would not allow us
to eat fire balls either and we still tried not to get caught. i can
still recite a poem that we had to learn in the 5th grade called "the
man in the moon" and then there was mr Gift who tried to see if the
6th grade girls were wearing bra's yet by rubbing his hand across
their backs! the nerve! yes it was freida moser and i thought she
was mean also. Was Margaret in the class of 58? when you post to
the website how do you change your font anyhow?

The second grade was Mrs. Mumaw and Mrs. Moser, still divided. I
was in Mrs. Moser's class and very much afraid of Mrs. Mumaw. I
think the third grade teacher became Mrs. Himes sometime during the
year, but started as Miss Nussbaum??? You are probably right about
the cafeteria, but I have no specific memory of it, except that the
cook was Margaret Moser's mother, Frieda?

ya know i am still sitting here waiting for someone to help me out with
their memories of the grade school cafeteria... ...where is my support
system? talking about times new roman font?
i know that we were in the old 2 story grade school building and that
the first grade was divided between mrs haney and mrs yeaman. then the
2nd grade was mrs mumaw and the 3rd was mrs himes ? and then the 4th
mrs edwards and the 5th mr dody and 6th was mr gift. the building was
old old and old with creaky wooden floors and a basement where the
restrooms were. i remember at recess we would try to drag the boys
into the girls basement just for fun......... ..i also remember doing
acrobatics on the floor in the girls basement. i think that nancy W
was one of the ones that could do flips in the air? and i am sure
connie and karen as i thought they could DO most anything.
I remember that we did the first three grades downstairs and then the
4th grade upstairs and then the new school must of opened with the
first 4 grades because we then moved back downstairs to do the 5th and
6th grade. then the 2nd grade classroom became the cafeteria (in my
mind anyhow.) i remember working in the steamy hot dish room washing
those trays. any other recollections out there? dont make me think
by myself so much...... it HURTS my head!
