I am having a lot of trouble getting people to write for this blog site, but they keep telling me hilarious stories that I just must share so here goes:
From Peggy Thonen: She says Andy Bates and George Doughty were eating dog biscuits while waiting in line for the cafeteria at Woodsdale. Caroline Coleman said that out of curiousity she went home and tried a few Milkbones, but was not thrilled with the taste.
From Caroline Coleman: Caroline was a new teacher at Woodsdale and was asked by Miss Ball to help her clear out her desk and classroom. Caroline found a bottle of cough syrup and asked Miss Ball about it. She explained that the "cough syrup" often contained harder stuff than the original contents and that was the only way she could put up with some of her students!
If you have a story to contribute PLEASE, PLEASE DO SO! Contact me at katequinn5@verizon.net and I will make you a contributor. The more variety that we can get the better!

To Peggy: I did not eat dog biscuits. Andy sold hard, but I never did partake. I did have may share of long pretzels and nickel cokes, however.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Howdy
Thanks George! I don't remember you and Andy eating dog bones. Peggy Thonen's memory obviously cannot be trusted....just kidding of course (LOL).
ReplyDeleteRegarding Caroline's story about Miss Ball and other teachers: cough medicine was probably just one of many medicinal liquids etc. in their desks.
If we all got together, we could write a book about Miss Ball... She taught my dad - I wonder how many kids went through her classes? But I'll tell you this, I remember my prepositions! Gail Brandfass Horner
