What Teacher Did This?
What teacher would come into class in the late 40's and start swatting at his pocket? Seems he would put his pipe in his pocket while it was still lit. Can anyone name him.

What teacher in the late 40's would come into his class at the door at the back, walk to the front looking straight ahead as chalk flew all around him. But when he turned to face the class it would become perfectly quiet?

Re: What Teacher Did This?
What teacher in the 40's could never remember any students name, so when she wanted one to put the homework sentence translated from Latin on the blackboard would look around the room to see if anyone was looking at her and point to them?
I only ever did one sentence of translation from the homework, and would only look at her when she wanted that one on the board, the rest of the time I was 'busy' correcting the others without looking up.

What teacher told the girls comming late into class from Home Ec. that next time they had to bring him something they baked.? And from then on they did.
Oh yes the boys were late once and they brought him on a plate a block of wood covered with wood shavings and topped with sawdust as their peace offering.

What teacher pretended to turn on the fire alarm and accidently did. Then he ran and hid in his class room leaving the students in the hall to explain to Max Ballard that they did not do it but a teacher did.

I believe that would be the legendary "Tank" Ballard, whom we heard about from "Island Hermit"'s father.
