About Janie
Miss Janie Wilson was auditorium teacher at Reinhardt Elementary School in the 1950's and was an inspiration to many of the children who attended the school, including the owner of this blog.
Janie's Fingers
Janie controlled children in the auditorium using finger snapping, in a triple meter fanfare motif—SNAP, SNAP, SNAP—which reverberated through the auditorium space and jarred our childhood brains to attention. It’s a mystery how she so effortlessly was able to condition so many thousands of little minds that went through that school. I have confirmed reports that she also pinched children who were bad, spoke out of the side of her mouth, and clicked her high heels.
