I really never cared for English class but it was a class everyone had to take.

By 7th grade, I discovered that even if one could not write that well, some creative artwork on the cover appeared to raise the grade earned.

Here as a coversheet for a short paper on the Norse god Thor. By short, I mean one handwritten page. The date is April 29, 1969. I might have received an A (4) but, instead, received a B (3) since it was "Late"! Note: I greatly changed how I wrote my name sometime later, but this is how I wrote it then. (to be continued)

On reflection, Mrs. Heilner was the best English teacher I ever had. Note: I had heard that Mr. Miller was very good, but I never had the opportunity to have him.

In 10th grade, I had Mrs. Heilner for a second year.

The only part I really liked was Les Miserables, but not because I liked French.

I did my report on the battle of Waterloo in 1815, including a map and some graphics.

Here are some drawings included in the report. I think they were all French soldiers.

The report was about 6 typed pages, and included a map and order of battle. I also did a plaster of paris model, about 18 inches square, to show the layout of the terrain and the placement of the forces at the start of the battle.
