Tim,
You probably are correct about Mr. Berriman, but i think he was there later. I had Mr. Utley at Lee, and i hated the snails he was boiling, the room stunk beyound. However, his knowledge on birds was vrey impressive. You were a year behind me i believe. I know it was after Lee, that all of us merged over to WHS. I can say Mrs. Lopez my moms friend, was teaching there later on after all of us had left Lee, and i may have heard his name mentioned through her, as she was having problems with kids smoking pot on grounds, and some sort of assistance he offered in getting the students to straighten up and fly right. I can't even remember the lay out of Lee anymore. I remember the gym or assembly area, where cottillion lessons were held, but that is about it. I really did not like that school that much, i had been to Gibson and Dingle and those were fun schools for me. Henritta Toothacher (think that was her name), took over and subbed for Utley one time, I think it was her, and she told me that my mom was and excellent biology student. She told me my mom could really draw the human bodies organs, better than some of the pictures the books had. I told my mom about that and she brought out her old Biology book, and lab book (where the drawings were), and man, they were good! I used them throughout my school years after that for science classes. I even used it in my college class in the Bay Area. Like i said i think it was Toothacher, I just really remember the first name of Henrietta. Lee had us doing things like that lunch box social, and stuff like that , and i really wanted no part of all that, but then i guess they were trying teach us how to grow up more and be ready for the next level of school, meaning high school.
