Well, I have a good one! Tim Jones and I were in her class in 1980. The othe student, George Sandford, wandered in if and when he thaught he should so he 
usually wasn't there. Well, Johnes and I were supposed to mak Manwich. We
both knew that stuff was sort of boring so we doctored it up some! Cheyene
pepper, hot sauce and some little dried peppers we found. Tim and I thaught it was great! We ate 2 apiece and were intent of finishing it when Mrs. Ells 
wanted to try what we loved so much. We made her a sandwich and lit her
fire! Thaught she would fail us! But, even though it was to hot for her, we 
cooked it right and even more important, we cleaned our kitchens. She was
quite careful about eating anything we cooked! We had to tell her that we
really wouldn't put hot sauce in our cookies!

I took home Ec when I was in school. I liked Mrs Ells. She was an awesome teacher. I told myself I'd damn sure know how to cook when I got out of school. I'll be damned if I was gonna live on frozen foods all the time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "peggy bowen" <sunflower.54@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I think Mrs. Brewer's first name was Shirley. I'm pretty sure she was only there during the 1967-1968 school year.

The home Ec teacher's name that was at Msb Was Mrs. Brewer. I cannot
remember her first name. She was there after Miss Krieger Retired. I cannot remember 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 when she left, maybe when the state of Michigan had that early retirement with a 
financial incentive in 1984 when many of the staff we knew left MSB.

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. Krieger 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 Krieger and Mrs. Ells never taught home ec. at the same time. 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.

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. Krieger and Mrs. Ells taught homeec and I liked them both. They were both super nice to me. I really loved Mrs. Krieger 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.
