Miss Elinor Decker	1949-1950	There is an old WWII Marine saying that came out of the battle for Guadalcanal. "" and when he gets to heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: one more Marine reporting, Sir! i done my time in hell. Well, when that Dear Lady came to those same gates, she too could have said (referring to the time spent as our class advisor in the Chem. Lab, my class of 49/50 (me being one of the most to blame) ""Allow this humble soul to past I've spent my time in hell"". However she loved every one of us and we, loved her	Gregory De Blase

	'70's	Last week, during the big wind storm, a large spruce came down on the lawn of Russell Stahl's house on Church Street and pulled off the electric service from his garage. Some of you may remember Russell as the science teacher who came to Livingston Manor during the mid 60's. As I was helping him reattach the meter and cable back on the building, he shared a Charlie Muhlig story with me. As Russell and other teachers were lounging in the teachers' room at LMCS, Charlie Muhlig, who was toward the end of his teaching career, walked in. Now Charlie was not one who frequented the teachers' room, and when he sat down, appeared somewhat dejected. Those in the room knew something had happened. "What's wrong?" they asked. "I guess it is finally time for me to retire," answered Charlie. "I had two boys cutting up in the back of the room of my algebra class and when I went back there and glared at them, it had no effect on them." Those who remember Charlie knew of his disciplinary ways.	Fred
	late 50's	During my years of going to LMCS, each class seemed to have a cut-up or two, who would eventually cross paths with Mr. Muhlig. Al Larsen reminded me the other day of a Charlie Muhlig story which involved one of the Welch boys. Though there may be more rules and regulations in our schools today than in the past, those that were in effect years ago were probably more rigorously enforced. Hallway etiquette was a mainstay in school order; always walk on the right side of the hall and absolutely no running down the hall. Between classes, the hallway traffic was policed by the Hall Patrol, appointed from our own ranks, and violations were punishable offenses. During class, though, it was the teachers who maintained order down the supposed vacant corridors. As some of you may remember, Charlie's classroom was midway down the main hall, just up from the water fountain. During one of his math classes, Charlie heard the unmistakable clatter of someone running down the hall. By the time he could get to his door, the runner was gone, but he did spy Bunk Welch lapping up water at the water fountain just down the hall. Returning into his classroom, he stayed close to the door and sure enough the clatter of running feet started up again, and was coming in his direction. Just as Charlie sensed that the culprit was approaching his room, he stuck his long arm out from the open door and into the hallway, just about neck high. The speedster was clotheslined by Charlie's maneuver, and fell into a heap on the floor. As Charlie went out to investigate the results, he found that the miscreant was indeed Bunk. As Charlie's large frame loomed over the fallen hall outlaw he said , in his slow drawl, "Now Bunk, my boy, you know you're not suppose to be running in the hall!"	Fred
