O I T fond memories remoun offer 24 yeors Mrs. Betty Salfrank. So much can be said about her that one page cannot contain it. Of her 31 years of teaching, 24 were spent here at Rock Port. She first taught the elementary grades. She has taught speech in the last few years along with senior high english. She has had a hand in the education of all grades except freshmen. Over the years, Mrs. Salfrank has collected many fond memories. Three stories which she favors are: A Senior English class was to write sonnets. Being typical high school students, they weren't very enthused. After much talk, Mrs. Salfrank said, Well, what do you have to lose? A big, husky boy from the rear said, Our self- respect. When Mrs. Salfrank was teaching at Westboro, she was in charge of an operetta, Under the Sugar Plum Tree. She asked the first and second graders if any of them had a sprinkling can that could be used in the play. One little blonde angel said, l got one Miss Batty, but it leaks. Mrs. Salfrank said simmer down only once. She knew the minute she said it that once was enough. From the back ofthe room came, SHhhh hhh hh! I I With these kinds of memories, she not only made her teaching career enjoyable to herself but to her students as well. The students and school personnel greatly appreciates her efforts and hard work for the benefit of all of her students. THANK YOU, MRS. SALFRANK. , ' 'Q
