Hi Marie,
Okay, that's what I thought because I do remember them both. Being that I came in the fall of 1966, I know I had Ms. Kreiger for that year of homeec then we had Mrs. Ells after that. I am sure we had the other teacher too although not for long. Didn't you say her name was Ms. Brooks?

Miss Kreger and Mrs Ells never taught home ec. at the same time. Miss Kreger
retired after the 1965-1966 school year, and Mrs Ells Started in the fall of
1968. Mrs Brewer was in there between Miss Kreger and Mrs Ells. And come to
think of it she may have been there for only a year.

No, I'm sure it was Jessie who also did chair caning. I could be wrong
though. It won't be the first time that I've been known to be wrong lol
hahahaha. But that's okay. Somebody taught it, that's for sure. Lol. I
wasn't in the class, so I don't know, but hey I tried hahahaha.
I know Mrs. Kreiger and Mrs. Ells taught homeec and I liked them both.They
were both super nice to me. I really loved Mrs. Kreiger though. She was the
best.

Jesse taught percussion but not band.  I don't recall him teaching chair
caning; he was piano tuning instructor.

I think you're thinking of Mr. R Rosnowski, something like that spelling.

Hi Steve,
I didn't know that Jessie Manley taught band. I remember him teaching
chair caning but that was all I knew he taught at the time.

I started playing piano, I thought it was a mandatory thing, and I
couldn't
wait to get out after a year.  I had Agnes Horton as my teacher.  When I
switched to snare, Jesse Manley taught me the rudimentals--drum rolls,
paradiddles, etc.  I can still hear his voice in my mind "Beat, Beat,
Bounce-it".

In my first year in band, they had Park Herron and Milton Jackson as snare
drummers, so I played the bass drum.  Kathy Barkley was on timpany and
glock
and spiel; Nancy Denny was on cymbals.  I learned all the percussion
antics
from Park Herron, and we certainly carried it all forward in the following
years.  Park used to make runs to Fabs during rehearsals, just like Mark
Tonkins did a couple years later.

Because I was small-framed then, I did not play bass drum when we marched.
I had to pretend to play the cornet and that was pretty embarrassing.
Chard
didn't want me to miss marching in various events including the Holland
Tulip Festival.  I don't remember who else from my class was in the band
that year, other than I think Terry Posont and I think his brother Larry
was
there then as well.  I know there were over thirty and I think at least
three trombonists.

I think during 1967 I may have played snare drum at one of the band
performances, unbeknownst to Jack Chard.  Park switched with me and he
played bass drum.  God, I laugh at the stuff we used to mostly get away
with
then.

I remember a couple years later when Chard was holding us over to get some
extra practice before the festivals.  Terry Posont put his trombone away
and
left.  I figured I would do.  I quietly put the snare drum in its case,
put
my coat on and just as I was ready to walk out the backstage door, old
Jack
caught me by my coat collar.  I did get in some trouble at home for that
stunt.
