  The best female teacher I ever had! I loved putting on plays, writing short stories, picking out a book that you liked for book reports. She encouraged me to write stories while critiquing my mistakes which gave me much confidence. She was stern but fair! May God Bless and keep her.

  Mrs. Dodds was one of the quirkiest teachers that I ever had but, she was funny and was a very good teacher. There isn't a day I don't think about something we did in her class.I remember that she made me so in the back of the classroom so I could read my Easyrider magazines without disturbing the others in the class. She told me as long as I kept my grades up in her class I could read anything I wanted to read back there. She had race horses and I still remember their names: Delightful Andy and Steady Snowflake. I used to look in the paper to see how they did. We had to do a poetry anthology book with a minimum of one hundred poems (in it I used a lot of cleaned up limericks). And we also used to do plays in her class, on occasion, of stories we were reading.One of the things some students did was torment her with bananas. She was allergic to them and they thought it was funny to put one on her desk. As much of a jokester as I was, I never did it and didn't think it was funny when others did it. It's a shame she didn't hang on for another three years and make it to 100.
