I had Mr. Wayne Taylor for Algebra...after getting a D in it the first time around with another teacher...
I was scared to death of him but I did very well, I think I got a B. Tom Freeze would help me with my homework
and then I would usually pull a better grade on the test than he did...very embarrassing!

Thanks, Jean!


I was pleased to see some info on Mr. Wayne Taylor, our stage crew sponsor in the early
60's. One night when goofing off in the auditorium I broke out a light panel in the
overhead lights just before a "pep rally" the next day. I had to get the glass removed
early the next morning. I waited all day to be suspended or expelled. Late in the day
Mr. Taylor said he had taken care of everything. The next week the glass panel was
replaced and I never heard anything about it. Alvah "Jimmy" Campbell and George "Biddy"
Whitehurst were my accomplices in this escapade. Mr. Taylor remains my hero to this day!
