John Zweers |
Education |
1952 |
 John
Zweers really loved Muir. He attended John Muir College in 1952 and
then returned to teach in 1958. He infused history into all of his
students and led the march to preserve and uplift the history of
John Muir High School. Mr. Zweers began what is now the Muir Museum.
His personal collection of Muir memorabilia adorns the museum walls
and his legacy is the many students that he taught and pushed to
excel in education and in life. Many of his students would call his
name if asked to name a most memorable person or event in high
school. He took on the "powers that be" in Pasadena to make sure
that Muir did not get too short changed when the educational dollar
was being spent.
His most memorable occasion would come on
the first day of a new semester for his students. The bell would
ring and he would face the chalk board and draw the letter "F" and
encircle it. He would then turn to the class and say, "this is your
grade as of today. It is up to you to improve it!" For the most part
his class always met the challenge. |
