Mr. Stark
Teacher, Economics and Government
By Missy Meeker ('86)

Back

I graduated in '86, boy that seems so long ago but its not really. I think back to the great times I had there and the teachers. 

The teacher that stands out most for me is Mr. Stark who taught Economics and Government. I almost didn't graduate due to the fact that I was going to flunk out of his class. He new that I was really trying to pass so he let me do an open book review of the test questions that I got wrong and I got a point for each that I corrected. I owe everything to him and I really didn't get much of a chance to tell him so.

He wasn't just a teacher but a person too. He shared some of his personal life with us, like the fact he used to play baseball for the Red Socks and he was an actor in a Twilight Zone episode with a robot baseball player. 

Whoever said that teachers don't make a difference should visit Loara.
