Show ROYCEFLANDRO March 21,2000 and then East High School. WINN: In your elementary school, do you remember any of your favorite friends or teachers? ROYCE: Yes, Miss Starr was a mathematics teacher. Miss McClain was one of my favorite teachers. She was very hard on me, made me really study, and I really grew to appreciate her because I began to achieve. She was a social science teacher. I enjoyed, of course, the librarian who read to us all through those years and got us to read. The music teacher helped us to appreciate music. Her name was Miss Riley. She helped us to appreciate classical music. She played and explained much about classical music. All of us children had her and learned to appreciate classical music from her. While I was there I was a traffic officer, a junior traffic officer. I helped with the traffic, and helped put up the flag every morning and take it down at night; those kinds of things. After I left there, I went to junior high school, and they asked me to come up and help referee a marbles tournarnent that they had at Douglas School. I felt honored that they would want me to come back and participate in that. I enjoyed the dance classes. We had the articulating unit (7th grade) there where they taught us how to have ballroom dancing in preparation for going on to the junior high school. When we got to junior high school, and they had the dances, those of us from Douglas School were the main ones that would start the dance. When the music would play, we would go out and start dancing, and everyone else would stand around waiting for awhile. Anyway, it gave us some good social contacts and gave us a good start at the high school level. Wino: What were your favorite subjects in junior high school? ROYCE: I enjoyed science. I took an art class, the only art class I have ever had, but it had an affect on my art work in other places. I took Latin. One of the reasons I took Latin is that all of my life I had wanted to be a doctor. So I built a background right from the early stages, and Latin was one of them. I had a very difficult time with Latin. Languages are very difficult for 3 |
