Alumi Weekend
Reunions: (OHIO) Alumni reunions are held "back home" each year on the second weekend in October Murl Huffman

In addition to the All Class Dinner Dance, the Class of 1959 had their 44th reunion.
I just added Mr. Huffman's email address to my address book. He was more than a teacher to lots of us boys. He was also our boss. Mr. Huffman was the summer Caddie Master at Moraine Country Club. We learned so many "life lessons" from him. You know we had a burning question in school as to whether he was a Democrat or Republican. We never were sure and he was certainly elusive. We thought we were playing a grand trick on him in class. One of us guys would ask a provocative question to try and get him off on a tangent rather than remember we had homework to hand in. I was particularly impressed that he was so smart so as to have a grading template for tests. The trick was on us as we got into so many heated debates that we were learning current events and living the election and becoming men and women whether we wanted to or not. Oh yes didn't we all love the demerit system he had. I remember more about him I think than any of our other teachers. Of course Mr. Johnson played a big part too. He was so classy and such an example he presented. You know if any of us guys had half a brain we would have been jealous cause truth be know I think You weren't alone in your crush Bonnie. I think lots of girls Placed us lowly boys in a level somewhere below Mr. Johnson. Isn't that great the role models we had? Class motto "This far now further" More on Mr. Huffman
