The December list will be the top 30 most memorable teachers/staff (see rules below), and tonight, we're remembering MS. HARTMAN (seen here in her yearbook photo, bonus link is below to a list of "the most epic hall passes" ever).
Last name "Hartman" ... first name "Ms." ... just as it is listed in the yearbook. I guess the power of the position of chief hall monitor (in addition to many other tasks she executed in the school buildings) required a certain distance between her and her subjects so that no one felt too comfortable with her that they might take advantage of a friendly relationship if seen in the circular halls of our school without a pass.
And, on a personal note, I was of course exempt from having to produce a piece of paper (actually, it was more like a lined index card made from a different color each month) -- not because I had a personal relationship with the hallway warden (to this day, I still do not know her first name), but because I was innocent and harmless and everyone of the adults loved me and let me do what I wanted -- because I really just wanted to read and do more homework. (Note: this was long before the age of school shootings ...)
Here's to you, Ms. Hartman!
RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST: Honorees must be one of the ninety individuals listed in the faculty pages of the '89 yearbook (which means two thirds of the list are already not going to be referenced). Honorees may also be selected from the photos of support staff as well (so long as they are on the surrounding pages of the same section). Honorees must be memorable (if there are no stories, then there will be no post about that person). Honorees are chosen and ranked by me (if you disagree, start your own list on your own blog). All memories are believed to be accurate (but are being told through the lens of thirty or more years, so ... you know.)
