AS TIME GOES BY When the seniors enrolled as little girls ln gingham jumpers and long blond curls. They little thought what they'd know today. What they'd remember or what they'd say. They think of their teachers from childhood on. Some still with us. and some of them gone, But all well respected, and now in our minds As we set out to write these memorial lines. Mrs. Adams was first and with her Miss Craig. Of whom we used often to plaintively beg To play the piano so we could all sing. Or push us again on the old playground swing. Mrs. Modisher taught us when first grade we entered. For then our collective interest centered On counting and writing and spelling out words. And on walks to observe aboriginal birds. Somehow we moved on to our second school year: Now let us remember. and shed a sad tear. The spelling and printing we thought such a chore. And the pillory bench outside Miss Vaughan's door. Miss Bainbridge greeted us in the third grade. So calm and so quiet, so sober and staidg She abhorred Miss Vaughan's printing and taught us to write. And we scribbled and smeared, it. as well we might. In fourth grade Miss Ducker continued our teaching. And year's end found all of us finally reaching Proficiency in our geography lessons: Whereupon slte discharged us with manifold blessings. Miss Brennan took charge of our fifth year at school. And taught us many a brassbound rule Of proper behavior, sober and staid- Ur else wr-'d be sent down to second grade. Mrs. Frank used to read to us after our lunchesg Around her we'd gather in small or large bunches. To hear her expound on proper behavior, Hefitting a young but maturing sixth grader. In grade seven we learned of the birds and the In-es, Assisted primarily by our friend Miss Teesg For passing exams she could teach us no rule. But she launched our careers in the new upper school. Mrs. Hanner, in eighth grade our guide and our mentor. Used to wail when in cooking class we would torment h That she couldn't help it if we burned the food: As beginners. our cooking was not very good. As freshmen. we seniors encountered Miss Elmore: ln Latin Class we used to ask her to tell more About her young nephew. Puddy Tat, and the play. Which we gave on that memorable Freshman Day. When we think of tenth grade, we think of red glasses. Mrs. Estes', of course, and her History Classes: The talks on the progress of current affairs. And advice on our troublesome worries and cares. As juniors. our teacher was Mademoiselle. Who taught us to read and to write and to spell ln passable fashion, La Langue Francaise. Which we did in peculiar and odd-sounding ways. ln Miss Bickley's unusual English courses We've read of such things as Geoff Chaucer's knight's ha The customs of good Queen Elizabc-th's court. And how to compose a good book report. The end of our schooling has come. at some length. And we thank all these teachers for giving us strength. Both mental and moral. as well as the knowledge. Which will serve us quite soon in our first year at college t'l'. lr5l'5
