Ms. Inett Mahanes was my favorite. I had her for Senior English class, after failing Junior English because I could not diagram sentences...had to go to summer school at Lane. Ms. Mahanes took a liking to me and helped me write for the school paper. She was all about writing and expressing oneself. Loved her class....John Halterman, John Gentry and I were the only boys in a class of about 18 girls...that helped, too! Very nice lady!
