Thomas Dale High School - Reflector Yearbook (Chester, VA)

Filling to capacity, the auditorium buzzed from the anxious chatter of over 500 students. The price of this class-skipping assembly, ninety-nine cents, a meager amount to pay to miss class and to also watch that favorite teacher make a fool of himself. For weeks, announcements called for teacher rehearsals after school. No one knew the big secret until strange noises were heard coming from the auditorium. Never before have tickets to an assembly been in such demand. But the First Annual Teacher Talent Show 99¢ Matinee was guaranteed to be a spectacular event. “Wild Bill’ Hastings and Dennis Tutor Talent Bierschmitt corraled the audience into some footstomping melodies. But Thomas Dale’s faculty seems to have a monopoly on singers and the western antics of “Wild Bill’ Hastings and Beierschmitt were closely challenged by Harriet Schaeffer and Mr. Seal. The barber shop quartet also provided us with some tunes. We also saw other talent from Mrs. Pennington and Mrs. Schaeffer, and Mrs. Werner, disguised as a playboy bunny. In the grand finale, the teachers portrayed a classroom scene where everyone picked on Charlie Brown. The show was a huge success thanks to the help of Mrs. Crews and the JNHS. Displaying her agility on wheels, Michelle Werner, the playboy bunny, performs with grace. In true Texan style, Cowboy Hastings and Cowboy Beirschmidtt entertain with their country ballads. Returning for a final bow, the entire cast of t he faculty talent show is greeted by enthusiastic applause.
