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.

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!

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 ............................ |

Hi Betty Ann,
?
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?

Paul Badertscher built a house next to ours on the
Kidron Road just above Camp Luz and Route 30 where Fred Biery's original Cheese
Shop was.? Paul's son Kenneth played oboe in the orchestra.? His
daughter, Kay, was an excellent pianist, went to Oberlin and majored in
organ.? She's married and lives in Arizona.? Paul died in the late
70's or 80's.? Remember that he sold Nationwide Insurance after retiring
from school teaching?

Yes, Mr Badertscher was strange.? I tried not
to go water flowers or get vegteables out of the garden unless Mom or someone
else of our family was outside at the time.? I wasn't afraid to mow lawn
when he was outside because I was pretty sure he wouldn't come over to talk
while I was busy.? Weird is probably a better word of description.?
I'm thankful I never had him as MY 7th grade teacher!!

-- The missing years. The eighth grade is a missing year for me. I think Charles Smith was our teacher. I can't recall anything at all about the eighth grade. Does anyone remember anything about the eighth grade (and Charles Smith, if indeed he was our teacher)? Surely something eventful must have happened in Grade 8. Maybe I skipped the eighth grade and went directly from Grade 7 to Grade 9? Doubtful. The Weaselmeister In dalton59@..., "Addie & Dave Yoder" <akddyoder@...> wrote:

Subject: [dalton59] cafeteria and teachers
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.

Yes, Charles Smith was our teacher.? I believe that was the year that
we adopted pink and black for our class colors.? We also took the eighth
grade test that year.? Other than that, I can't remember anything eventful,
either.

I
remember Charles Smith.? That is the first year I moved from the Kidron
school to Dalton.? I seem to remember that most of the class didn't like
Mr. Smith - thought he was too hard or always looking at them or
something.? I actually thought he was okay.? Like the other responses,
I don't remember much else - but then I don't recall a lot of what I have been
reading about so I am glad that others can remember.
?
Have a GREAT DAY!

The missing years. The eighth grade is a missing year for me. I
think Charles Smith was our teacher. I can't recall anything at all
about the eighth grade. Does anyone remember anything about the
eighth
grade (and Charles Smith, if indeed he was our teacher)?
Surely something
eventful must have happened in Grade 8. Maybe I
skipped the eighth grade
and went directly from Grade 7 to Grade 9?
Doubtful.

Yes, Mr Badertscher was strange. I tried not to go water flowers
or get
vegteables out of the garden unless Mom or someone else of our
family was
outside at the time. I wasn't afraid to mow lawn when he
was outside
because I was pretty sure he wouldn't come over to talk
while I was busy.
Weird is probably a better word of description.
I'm thankful I never had
him as MY 7th grade teacher!!

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!

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.
