These ranged from mild interruptions to unforgettably funny incidents. During those times, a good sense of humor could make all the difference. My class is always a laugh but one story that still sticks in my mind was when we lost our snake, ' Opie. ' We couldn ' t find the sucker. But a few days later one of my students screamed during class. What hap- pened was that she turned on the faucet, and Opie popped out from the drain, laughed Ron Crandall. Little mistakes can be very embar- rassing if not handled properly. Rip- ping your pants during the middle of school can be a ma]or ordeal if you can ' t sew. Though he couldn ' t sew, Tom Hilts found an interesting solution. I just taught from behind my desk for the rest of the after- noon. Connie Fortier found herself in a slightly different situation. I was in a hurry to get to school one morn- ing and just grabbed a pair of shoes out of my closet. Not until third peri- od did I find out I had worn two different shoes. Teachers were also known to play jokes on each other. Taking the pranks well often necessitated a good sense of humor. When Glenn Anderson opened his classroom door one morning, not only were all the desks turned around, but his own was missing, I knew it had to be someone from the P.E. depart- ment. Sure enough, when I went to the coaches ' office, there was my desk upside down and nailed to the floor. Anderson wasn ' t the only teacher to fall victim to the P.E. de- partment. It wasn ' t until after being at school for a few hours that base- ball coach. Rich Stalder, noticed his boxer shorts with red hearts on them, hanging from the ceiling of the coaches ' office. ' T don ' t know how they got a hold of them, but it was funny, smiled Stalder. In every case, through the incident was embarrassing, it could only be considered as part of the day in the life of a teacher. The old adage, It hurts now, but someday I ' ll be able to look back and laugh, still held true. •«• CUSTODIAL STAFF, FRONT ROW: lohn Widbee, Marion Edwar i - ! mz; TOP ROW: Phihp Hodnell.
