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.

vs. XL102 The buzzer sounded and one of the most interesting games in our school’s history began. Donned in shorts and T-shirts, the fiesty teachers burst from the locker room ready to take on the XL102 staff. With Mr. Pierce as point guard and the excellent ball handling of Mr. Gill and Mr. Seal, the teachers put up quite a fight against the other team. Coached by Victor Foreman, the team kept XL102 on the move throughout the entire game. Many students were surprised by the latent talents of their educators but thoroughly enjoyed this new side of them. Of course, the males cannot take all the In an attempt to block a shot, Mr. Mo proves his “great” basketball ability.
