i was very fortunate and blessed to have had mrs. polly for a home-ec teacher. she was awesome!! we learned so much and had so much fun. that lady had as much patience as job with our class. she had too. we certainly were not the best in cooks. the day we burnt the cookies and filled the room with smoke- oh my, she laughed and we cried and laughed and she assured us that all would be ok, even though the firetrucks came. what a teacher and a lady!!! what a wonderful memory and blessing!
