Billy Gene Hill 66 (1966)

A good friend and great track coach who had a new 1965 red gto convertable. He showed me how to break the mile run record by letting my arms hang straight down in a relaxed position while running around the two curves of the track and pumping my arms while doing the straight aways.

Steve was one of the best teachers I ever had. He knew how to make English lit interesting. He also knew how to communicate with young people, and I felt we had a real mentor in him. He didn't know it, but he influenced me to become an English teacher.
One of the top 10 in my book.

One of the two best teachers I had at Rockville.

I remember Steve as a "fellow" teacher who was always ready to smile and always ready to tease me.  My classroom was across the hall from his and we often had short "visits" standing together outside our classrooms.

Both of us were new, in September, 1964, but somehow Steve became "senior" and was looking out for me.  At the time, I was a smoker and I often left my cigarettes in the Teacher's Lounge.  One day I walked into the room and looked for my cigarette box.  Finding it, I also found a surprise.  Steve had written the words "Cancer Sticks" on every cigarette in the box.  I will never forget that.  It took me many years to stop smoking entirely.  But Steve did have some success.  Soon after leaving RHS to teach at ISU, I began to smoke a pipe.  Steve had helped me.
