The only teachers I really remember from Mountain View are that old bat Mrs. Martin who used to come around and wack you on the head with her chalk brush if you weren't paying attention I sure got that enough. I also remember the time she brought all kinds of different types of food in to the classroom and we were to try some of them I remember trying chocolate covered ants. I also remember Mrs Denuve she was so nice and so pretty She taught us french, remember it started in grade three it was manditory. Then in JR HI at Sir Wlifred Laurier I remember one teacher not sure grade seven or eight he was a nut ball a nervous wreck. We(as a class in general) were being quite bad all the time one time we were doing spit balls on the ceiling he came in the room and some fell he had a ream of foolscap paper on is desk he picked it up and threw it then left the room he was so mad.

Everytime someone would call me Pepsi you would say tahiti Treat. I really only liked three subjects in Hi School I hated Math I don't remember the teachers name but I didn't like him he had an accent like maybe german? I liked Mr. Mutton in Beauty Culture, Hmm the drafting teachers name is not here right now but he was real good (Smyth?) ah Smelly?, and the English teacher can't remember his name either right now I like him I thought he was a good teacher. He took time to talk to you. I left Calgary in 1978 when my first daughter was born. I lived at 820A-44 St.SE know how I remember that? Because thats what made me move away from Calgary. 44 st was pretty busy and my daughter was just learning to walk, I was talking to a neighbor and turned around there she was, ...Expand for more
