Wyatt has this little girl or boy in his class named Isis.......Joan is this it!

The Secrets of Isis (also called simply, "Isis") starred JoAnna Cameron as Andrea Thomas, a high school science teacher who found an ancient mystical amulet on an archeological dig in Egypt. The amulet belonged to Hatshepsut, an ancient Egyptian Queen and it gave the wearer the powers of Isis. Andrea, by virtue of being able to open the casing in which the amulet rested, was recognized as an heir to Isis's secrets. Whenever Isis was needed, Andrea would reveal the amulet and incite an incantation ("Oh, mighty Isis!") and she would be transformed into the goddess Isis.
As Isis she was given great strength, the ability to move inanimate objects, and the power to fly and run at super speed. To invoke her powers, she intoned rhythmic rhyming chants, such as Oh zephyr winds which blow on high, lift me now, so I can fly, which enabled her to fly. Isis used her powers for good by capturing criminals, righting wrongs, and helping anyone who was in danger. Unlike other superheroes who responded when people called their name, Isis often came to the rescue of people who didn't call for her, arriving in the nick of time and encouraging the wrongdoer to see the error of their ways through self-reflection. Even without the help of Isis, Andrea Thomas demonstrates high intellect (in the episode "The Sound of Silence", she invents a force field powered by a uranium pellet), and also has some abilities even when not in the guise of Isis, such as in "Sound of Silence" when she gives telepathic instructions to her pet mynah bird.
The show co-starred Brian Cutler as Rick Mason and Joanna Pang as Cindy Lee and Albert Reed. In Season 2, Ronalda Douglas joined as Renee Carroll, replacing Cindy. Guest stars on the show included Mike Lookinland, Debralee Scott, Leigh McCloskey, Phil Bruns, Mark Lambert, Steven Paul, Thomas Carter, Johnny Doran, William Engesser, Tommy Norden, Russ Marin and Christopher Norris.
A romantic attraction between Rick and Andrea (and between Rick and Isis herself) is suggested in numerous episodes; in his interview on the 2007 DVD release, Cutler likens his character to a male version of Superman's Lois Lane. Commentary on the DVD release also indicates that Cindy Lee's actual function at the high school was never defined, with episodes varyingly showing her as a student and a teacher's assistant, as well as sometimes a subordinate of Andrea's and in other episodes she is shown socializing with both Andrea and Rick. Renee, by contrast, is clearly defined as Andrea's assistant; in the episode "The Cheerleader", for example, she is shown preparing the answer key for an exam (however, she is also shown cavorting with students). The abbreviated second season saw some cosmetic changes to the character of Andrea Thomas/Isis, with an attempt to soften her look with increased make-up and a new hairstyle for Isis. Her performance as Isis is also somewhat more subdued than in the first season (as can be seen when comparing her reciting of the "zephyr winds" chant in both seasons).
Three episodes of the series featured crossover appearances by Captain Marvel of the show's companion series, Shazam! and Cameron likewise appeared as Isis in three episodes of the other series. (As of 2007, however, only a single episode of Shazam! has been released to DVD in North America).

History
Isis aired on CBS from September 6, 1975 to September 3, 1977 (15 episodes in first season, seven in the second, totaling 22 original episodes) as part of the Shazam/Isis Hour. The success of the show led to her own series the following year as The Secrets of Isis, but this was just reruns of the 22 previously-produced episodes (no additional new episodes were made). The character (played by the same actress) also appeared in three episodes of Shazam! Isis later appeared in animated form (voiced by Diane Pershing rather than Joanna Cameron) on Filmation's Tarzan and the Super 7 show in 1980, as part of a segment called The Freedom Force, as well as a guest appearance on the cartoon Hero High.
The series spun-off a comic book produced by DC Comics. Although Isis is often cited as a DC creation, the series is one of the very few Filmation originals (most of their creations were adaptations of previously existing material); the character was created specifically for the television series and was only later adapted for comics. The TV character later appeared in animated form on other series. A considerably reworked version of the character (though still connected with Captain Marvel and given the name Adrianna Tomaz in honor of the television character's secret identity) was introduced in the 2006 comic series 52 and its novelization by Greg Cox.

And when a 6 wasn't rolled ShaZAM.....quickly turned into SHITZAM!

Bunko Rules

Begin by playing with two tables of 4 people.

The object of the game is to roll sixes.
There are 3 dice.

PARTNERS
At each table, you partner first with the person across from you. Partners will add the points from their rolls together to total 21. Select 1 partner to keep track of this total. She will add the points for both. When 21 points is reached, holler “BUNKO!” and the round is over.

HOW TO PLAY
The first person rolls, if they get a six they continue to roll as long as they roll at least one six, adding the points up (see below). If you get no six on a roll, you pass the dice to the person on your left and they roll and so on.

ROLL POINT VALUES
(1) 6 = 1 point
(2) 6’s = 5 points
(3) 6’s = BIG BUNKO & the end of the round

BIG BUNKO
Rolling (3) 6’s or a BIG BUNKO will end the round early. ONLY The person who rolls the big bunko gets a point in their BIG BUNKO category, but both the Roller & their partner get 1 point in the Total Points category for having won the round.



KEEPING TRACK OF POINTS
Each individual keeps two sets of points. One column for Total Points another column for BIG BUNKOS.

Total Points – each time you and your partner win a round, that equals 1 point in your total points category.

Big Bunko – is a roll of (3) sixes, which ends the round early. Both partners are round winners and get a point, but only the BIG BUNKO roller gets the BIG BUNKO point. BE SURE TO SHOUT OUT “BIG BUNKO” to signal the end of the round.

ROUND 2
For the next round, you change partners by the winners taking the persons to their left.

Begin again by rolling until one group of partners gets to 21 points or rolls a Big Bunko.

ROUND 3
Change partners again, playing with the person to the right of the first set of winners. This way, everyone plays with each person at the table.

This makes 1 set. To play another set, start over again, partnering with the person across from you.

Prize Values:

Most Points = $45
Most Big Bunkos = $35
Door Prize = $25
Boobie Prize = $15
