Miss Bundy organized hikes and clean-up days. Mr Spencer was principal at the school. Miss Bundy was to operate projector to show a safety movie. When the movie is over and the lights go back on there is a 6 foot pile of film on the floor behind the projector. 
She was Miss Robinettes understudy. 
Miss Bundy was a Kindergarten teacher. 
Shep is in the Army and gets paper from home and reads Miss Bundy has died at the age of 67.

[Sep 13, 1969 show] The first day in Kindergarten in McKinley school. (In fact, at the time of Kindergarten Shep was living in Chicago and attended a different school) 'A big fat lady in a purple dress with glasses' - Shep's first memory of Miss Bundy! And shortly later he met a little boy named Schwartz and other kids named  named Helen Weathers, Esther Jane, and Flick. 
He soon finds himself falling behind in school - over his own name! Miss Bundy insists his name is short for Eugene.

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
