Mrs. Machado had her own fingernail parlor in her classroom.
Miss Bader had a screw driver in her hand to remove the shoe spikes the boys would wear.
Mr. Manzano could never replace Mrs. Stell so he was moved to Pace.
Mrs. Pam Taylor was the young secretary who now fights the Homeland Security people.
But because we all behaved, we had a good time and somehow learned.
We were classified as 7H1 and 7H2 and etc like the bluebirds and blackbirds 7L1 and 7L2
like we did not know what the h and the l stood for. But we learned regardless.
Blah blah blah
move on move out move up
Oh wait it's the rio Grande valley
People don't move anywhere
Ms. E Putegnat always greeted us with "Great Day in the Morning". She always encouraged us to read and read we did. Excellent teacher.
Mrs Putegnat, Mrs Renfro and Mr Manzano all retired from Pace.
Two dots and eight dashes.
They don't make them like they used to...all shown were my teachers and good ones at that!!
Hate to say this but Manzano and Machado were the "Uncle Tom" at this school. All very good teachers but went with the flow.
