Jo: The main teacher I remember as being a Methodist was Mr. Edwards from the 8th grade. He sang in the choir so was always facing the congregation. He used to take notes during the sermon and on Monday morning in his class would recite the names of those who "misbehaved" in church. I recall that my name & Deltah's were often called and I think Susie B. was also on the list with us!
I'm glad, too, that Marsha didn't listen to the propaganda and stayed on her chosen path. She had an awesome career at Tech. I really enjoy following college basketball and especially loved the Lady Raiders when she was coaching. I sent her a note of congrats when they took the national championship in '93. Her record is pretty amazing. She is even listed on Wikipedia which is my favorite web source for information about well known people! I even have an autographed copy of her book "Tall Enough to Coach". She has made Tulia proud.
I, too, am grateful to Mrs. Payne for teaching me typing and shorthand. I thought my fingers would fall off from typing "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog". I'm just glad I don't have to ever take another typing test. They were so nerve wracking in high school!! I don't remember ever having Mrs. Payne take the paddle to my behind but I'm sure it wasn't because I was a model student.
I love hearing about teachers on this forum. When I see a name it always triggers some memory. Does anyone remember Mrs. Root? (Helen, I think)....or Mrs. Perry? (journalism teacher who always had her sweater thrown over her shoulds and was constantly readjusting the darn thing).
