These lists are for BEST, not favorite, Division Avenue teachers. For example, to me math teacher Mr. Chenevey was easily the best. My favorite was Mr. Amen. If you went to Division and wish to submit a top-10 list, send it to fbarning@cox.net

I had no favorites. I found Division's teachers to be less than inspiring. Now, Wisdom Lane, that was a different story.

1. Mr. Chenevey. I remember him standing in front of the class and pushing his hair back as he taught. I had him for algebra & geometry. Math was not my forte and I wanted to quit geometry but he wouldn’t let me. I sat in the front row and he would tease me about using my fingers and toes to count. I wound up getting a 96 on the Regents. He was fantastic.
2. Mr. Crane
3. Mr. Chapman
4. Miss McGuigan
5. Miss Smith

1. Mr. Graf -- the absolute best. He loved his subject and probably even most of us! I became a scientist but his English class was the best class I ever took.
2. Miss McGuigan -- very effective, witty and easy on the eyes.
