Mrs. Graumann (I suspect the woman you reference) was legendary - several classmates taking the tour specifically wandered down the language hallway to peek into her classroom.

I did my student-observation here (1968-9?) in a French classroom, taught by a spirited middle-aged lady with a European (German?) accent who handled her enormous class like a sergeant with recruits, in a kind of small amphitheater room, like a music room, all in dark woods.
