Did the guys have the option of taking Home Economics if they wanted? When I attended another "Braille Jail," Home Ec was compulsory; I had it but came out to Michigan after school started.

I'll be damned if I was gonna live on frozen foods all the time.----- Original Message ----- From: "peggy bowen" <sunflower.54@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I cannotremember her first name. She was there after Miss Krieger Retired. I cannotremember if she worked one or two years. Mrs. Ells started in the fall of 1968 the beginning of my ninth grade year. Mrs. ells was still working at MSB when I started working there in October, 1978. I cannot remember whenshe left, maybe when the state of Michigan had that early retirement with afinancial incentive in 1984 when many of the staff we knew left MSB.

Being that Icame in the fall of 1966, I know I had Ms. Krieger for that year of homeecthen 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 Krieger retired after the 1965-1966 school year, and Mrs. Ells Started in the fall of 1968. Mrs. Brewer was in there between Miss Krieger and Mrs. Ells. And come to think of it she may have been there for only a year.

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.

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.
