Mr Tewksbury was a teachers teacher. He was young when he started teaching at SPHS but I see he went on to higher learning. I remember how many people wanted to be in his English class and studied 'Tale Of Two Cities'  I was in his speach class and I really learned confidence in talking to an audience. I always wondered what happened to him and I see he did well. I always remember his sense of humor and how he could laugh!!
