Mr Newby was so handsome. I remember when he came into the school the first day.
Wow.. we were used to having "stuffy" teachers and he was just sooooo... wellll goodlooking. 
He had all of us girls giggling and talking. He was kind of like the Don Johnson of Howard High School.. hahaha

I am not familiar with most of the high school teachers that are listed,  as I had already graduated before then, and wasn't living around Howard at the time.

Some say that when a person starts to reminisce that is a sign of old age!!! I guess I must have been an old battle ax for several years!!!
