She was a tall, very erect hand- some lady and you knew she loved being a teacher. She taught the first three grades, sometimes also the fourth grade, all in the same room. Desk's were double and sized for pupils of various ages. Her desk was in the center at the front of the room. The long recita- tion bench was in front of her desk and classes took turns sit- ting on that bench for lessons while the others studied. There were lots of blackboards and it was a great privilege towash them and "clap" the erasers. During the day at any unan- Miss Ethel Yaple set standard for teachers nounced time, Miss Yaple would take oul her pitch pipe and sound a note that meant all of us were going to sing, maybe only one song, but more likely several. She loved to sing, so did we. She knew exactly how to soothe the restless little ones and relieve the tension's of the older ones. On days of stormy or cold weather when we couldn't go out- side for recess, she would have us go to the cloak room and put on our coat and hat and have the big boys open all the windows. Then we would run around and around the room, up and down the aisles and stop by our desk at a signal from her pitch pipe. Then we would do all sorts of exercises beside our own desk until the allotted recess time was up. After the windows were closed and our coats hung up we were ready to go back to lessons. Reading was my [avorite. We didn't have "Dick and Jane" read- ers, we had green books about "Fanny and Dan". The stories began, "Can Fanny Fan Dan?", "Fanny Can You Find Dan" etc. We learned to spell in first grade, big words before the end of the year. We had spelling bees every Friday, as well as spelling the word correctly, we had to use the word in a sentence. We had to learn to recite a new poem each month and know who the writer was. Miss Yaple read books to us, chapters each Friday. On Mon- day we would discuss the story and be able to say who the author was and all we could tell about him. Miss Yaple believed a child was never tooyoung tolearn. Of course no pupil was pushed beyond his ability, you just wanted to learn everything, it was fun, even the times tables. I personally am grateful to Miss Yaple for the wonderful start to- ward my life long interests. I'm sure there are others who were her students who feel the same. Miss Yaple was the best teacher, there are none like her today. Lm (1) doctors. 3 38 hospitals.
