45 YEARS AGO

     This was the staff I was on 45 years ago. It is hard to believe it was that long ago. 14 of these people have passed away.  When I look back it was a very talented staff. Yes, I am in this photo.

  2. At one time, I think on FB, I would see pics of a teacher who wore the same outfit for all 30 or whatever years for the annual photo.

    1. I was 40 in the photo and now I'm 85 so it would be difficult to find me.

    1. You'll have to ask the photographer about that one. This guy was one of our caretakers and a real character.

    3. Welp, Joanne, you and I have missed out on a Major Award. I'll bet it was Fra-gee-le and everything!

  12. I'm going to agree with most of the previous comments ... bottom row, 3rd from left. Quick question: Did you save all the yearbooks?

    1. I saved all the yearbooks and 12 years ago I donated them to the local archives. The archivist was a former student.

  13. I can see you with all the other teachers - staring across the decades Red. You are the handsome guy near the bottom left-hand corner.

    1. It ended up that way but it wasn't my intention.

  15. I think it's either the bottom row third from the left or the top row in the middle with the stash.

  18. I feel for that guy who's blinking. The FIRST staff/student photo that was taken of me when I started teaching 1st grade in Illinois was one of me blinking! I couldn't believe it! I never blinked again after that. I made sure of that.
