Susan Krebs Mr. Smith...thank you so much for all the wonderful pictures. Funny how it just seems like yesterday, where does time go? The world needs more teachers like you. My twin brother, Larry Smith, has been teaching school since 1965...almost 45 years. He is still subbing. Over those years he took photos of his students and their activities. He has now scanned in the negatives, photos and slides from those years. He has organized the 6,460 photos into 27 Picasa albums. He hopes his former students will find these albums after he posts them on http://www.jvwoodlands.org To contact Larry Smith: jvsmith@clearwire.net To contact Lloyd Smith: Lsmithtwin@comcast.net
Photo by 5th grader Robby Duncan. His father owned Bob Duncan Photography in Medford. Using Justin Olson as the kid. Justin was an outstanding gymnast, so Robby had him dress in his gym outfit and then he added the hat, sax, jacket and bike to add props of interest. HIgh key lighting. High-key lighting is a style of lighting for film, television, or photography that aims to reduce the lighting ratio present in the scene. This was originally done partly for technological reasons, since early film and television did not deal well with high contrast ratios, but now is used to suggest an upbeat mood. It is often used in sitcoms and comedies. High-key lighting is usually quite homogeneous and free from dark shadows. The terminology comes from the key light (main light).
Andy Whitlock Mr. Smith! Wow! Good to see you on here. Hopefully you remember me from back in the jville elementary days... You're the one who introduced me to one of my greatest passions; photography. We've come a long way from the dark room days... Photoshop is fantastic, but it'll never replace the fun or the tactile experience that I had in that dark room. Thank you very much for those times, lessons and for being one of only maybe 2 or 3 teachers that i had a profound effect on my life. Andy Whitlock A.K.A - Huggy Bear :)

Tim Martin King & Chad Gutches. Hi Mr Smith I wanted to say hello and tell you a few things which i'm sure you have heard a 1000 times. I think you are the greatest teacher that has ever influenced my life. Even though i never went anywhere in life or in school, I really learned many things from you. i will never forget that time i had in your class and the things you let me get away with. And you as a person from light to light i love you. and i feel i will always know you from here and the after life. i also wanted to say thank you. You are a special person in my time here on earth. The last things i wanted to tell you is i had a vision of Jesus Christ. He gave me a hug and asked me how i was doing. Then he led me into this door where there were people drinking tea and coffee and they were in white robes and happy. It was a cool vision. i appreciate meeting you in life and will never forget the way you treated me knowing i wasnt going to be able to do school well. Thank you Your student Timothy King
Tim Martin King & Chad Gutches. I have also picked up how to build and take apart computers. But i can work on them and trouble shoot all day. It's fun to me. I can do it all day 24 seven but since I don't have a fancy degree i cant get hired. i can't get hired to learn more and my math and schools skill are terrible for me to go back to school. I understand more about history and earth and science. Only through tv national geogrpahic channel and history channel. What i have learned from those channels about hisrory on earth is when money runs out wage war. Over and over. pretty much its all starting to make since to me. I cant say exact details but i can hang in there when people are discussing those things. I dont understand why they took out the pledge of allegance it represnts america and its people we are losing what history represents and nations and countrys fall when they forget there past without correction. alright mr smith talk to you later. please write back if you have time. Tim

Steven Lance Hamilton - fifth grade. Steve wandered into my room after school one afternoon and sat down dressed in red and white. In the 1970s boys tended to color coordinate their clothes. I was working with some photocopying so had the camera out. Steve was an outstanding athlete. When Steve attended JV School in the 3rd grade he went by Lance. When he moved back from Montana in the fifth grade he was calling himself Steve. Then Steven Lance moved back to Montana for 6th grade My twin brother, Larry Smith, has been teaching school since 1966...almost 45 years. He is still subbing. Over those years he took photos of his students and their activities. He has now scanned in the negatives, photos and slides from those years. He has organized the 6,460 photos into 27 Picasa albums.
