Jose Rodriguez no longer signs 'Me'!
Vivian Paine losing weight; likes herself better.
Lou Martin, in the midst of clowning, raises a hand to answer a question!
Four kids took out public library cards for first time!!!
I may look forward to retirement after 35 years of service; at 70 it's mandatory!
Yes, Mother still sends me gory clippings. At the same time, she inquires delicately whether or not there is a young man in my life. I tell her there are many. Over a hundred.
I'm glad Suzie liked my birthday present. It's delicious to shop for a little girl of two. And please stop remonstrating—I may be a teacher, but I'm not that poor!
Tell me about your Thanksgiving. I was supposed to have dinner with Paul, but how can you wish on a turkey wishbone with a man who is capable of correcting a love letter?
P.S. Did you know that a third of all New York City teachers are substitutes?
40. From the Suggestion Box
I suggest they do away with graff and coruption and make a school where we don't have to stand up in Assembly and Lunch! We should have a sit down strike but there's no place to sit, Ha-ha, joke!
1. I like the way you 'put it over' (Julius Ceazer)
2. Open School is a farse!
3. You didn't have to hush it up we knew all about it.
A. Why she tried to kill her self!
1. Misunderstandings of feelings between pupils and teachers.
2. Misunderstandings of feelings between children and parents.
You never call on me and if you do it's very seldom.
Most fellows dislike their teacher not because the teacher is good or bad but just because the teacher is a teacher. You are different because you don't treat us like a teacher. Now coming down to the human side of things, you for one don't look like an old hag but beautiful every day. It slays me! Never in my life did I feel this in school. The way you walk up and down the isle really sends me and I hope you take it in the right spirit.
In these 'distressful times' when any day the whole world can just as soon 'blow up' I enjoy 'poetry'. The way your tone of voices make it sound in changing it to sadness or happiness or whatever it is suited for, depending on the 'poem'. I went to the school 'librery' to look for more 'Frost' but it was closed.
If you could only be a man instead of a female I would say the only decent teachers in this school are you and Mr. Grayson and he's not even a teacher.
I don't like the way you read, too emoting, and over our heads.
You gave me the courage to read a book.
When he said the fault dear Brutis is not in our stars meaning we got only ourselfs to blame he wasn't a color person.
Don't ever change! There is a pleasing way in your manner of dressing (red suit) & shape. With you I could spend a whole day with nothing but English.
For my money you stink.
