The December list will be the top 30 most memorable teachers/staff (see rules below), and tonight, we're remembering the late IRWIN E STUCKEY (seen here in his picture from our yearbook; bonus link to his obituary below).
Truth be told, we may have once or twice theorized that Mr. Stuckey and Mr. Norman Bates had similar tendencies, but that was just because chemistry is hard, and kids in 10th grade trying to learn chemistry have to have some kind of outlet for accepting the fact that not all of us can memorize the periodic table AS HE REQUIRED ... and so we lash out and say inappropriate things about our teachers.
And, on a personal note, it is a true statement that I may remember the safety speech he gave us about the special chemical shower above the lab station (a metal cord you were supposed to pull if someone somehow accidentally got acid on them) than the atomic mass of thallium (204.3833, according to the interwebs).
Here's to you, Mr. Stuckey!
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.)
