Our Faculty Now, ladies and gentlemen, don’t think me a fool, If I tell you about the faculty of A. H. School, And if you doubt what is said after reading it through, Just read it again, and you’ll find it’s true. Mr. Richardson is the principal of dear A. H. S. And he is certainly fine; I'm sure we couldn’t find a better one now If we’d hunt and hunt all the time. Needles and pins, needles and pins, When Miss Ferguson enters, the silence begins; She gives you a look that freezes you cold, And then after that you do what you’re told. Miss empen’s a teacher that all of us like, And she’s done a great deal of work Helping to get money for the Tatler this year, And her duty she never has shirked. Mr. Ritcher and Mr. Schaefer are two bashful teachers, You seldom see them at assembly time; But when it comes to teaching their subjects, I tell you they sure are fine. Miss Bishop’s been here for several years, And in teaching French she’s a wonder; But among us, it has been discussed, Whose great mind it is that she has plundered. Mr. Haight is very prominent, Because of his being coach; Of all the teachers I’ve ever had I think I like him the most. Mr. Oertli teaches Geometry, And at it he is a “bear;” Of course, that’s probably due to the fact That he has curly hair. Miss Cartwright has been absent so much this year That we forget most how she looks; And if she doesn’t hurry back We’ll soon be quitting our books. Miss Lowry attends to the Tatler work, And knows what it should be about; And if you put something in that she doesn’t like, She sure will take it out. 16
