Many men and women devoted a great deal of energy and patience to try to help us get where we were going. Here is a place to remember them. Once in a while, you might say thank you, too. If the class decides that they want to, we'll make a page for each teacher, with a before and after photo, and publish the comments that classmates might send in. For now, Coach Hunter's page is an example to view. If you have photos of teachers, or know names that are missing, please send them to me by email.

THE OLD SCHOOL. For a number of years, this class attended the old "Dairy School." This was the 3rd school building in Alief, and dated from the 1930s. It was on the block bounded by 7th St on the north, High Star on the South, and a couple of lettered streets (E and F?) on the east and west.

	Superintendent - Mr Albers. He was the superintendent of a grade 1-8 school. Grades were added each year beginning in about 1964 and the first class graduated in 1967.
	Kindergarten - Mrs Bitner. The Class of 72 didn't have Kindergarten, but Mrs Bitner came shortly after, and was the first kindergarten teacher at Alief.
