My reunion committee questioned whether or not we would like to invite some of our old high school teachers to the reunion. Should we? Will they come? Are any even still alive? The locals pondered whom they might have seen in and around the area.
The football coaches were still around and lived in town. There is that world history teacher that we had in the 9th grade...one person said she sees him at the gym sometimes. What about the American history teacher that everyone liked? Ohhhh...and the physics teacher that no one liked, who married a girl 2 years ahead of us in high school...he still lives in the area...
Well, we did it...invited a bunch of teachers and it will be an interesting night! The 9th grade world history teacher was well-liked despite the fact that he stared at girls' legs...a fact we all remembered. I sat in the front of his class and he would talk to me before class, ask me embarrassing questions, like did I go to the dance last Friday? He always picked on me to know the answer to questions about the previous lesson...and I always knew the answer.
The old physics teacher was the subject of a previous post and I would really like to tell him that I went into science despite hating his class and that I even had to teach physics concepts to 8th and 9th graders. And...that I work in the pharma industry!
Will they recognize me? I have no idea. I doubt if I look much like the young girl they might remember, if they remember me at all. But, I think we will have some fun getting to know them all over again!
