Cfifaculty Gjiloihphy HIS page is an affidavit of the fact that our hai37borking, hard-marking pedagogues have a sense of humor which, despite their efforts to conceal it, comes to the surface under various conditions. ODE TO THE LIFE or A TEACHER Now I sit me down to rest, English papers on my chest: Latin exams to correct, Late report cards to collect: Cutter's slips to rectify, Intelligence tests to classify, Statistical reports that must be made, 'Till I'm eighty in the shade. Oh! A teacher's life is the life for me, 'Till six feet under they bury meg And on the stone 'bove where I lie This little message: She teach: she nk' she die. flu , Mrs. Schearer would like to know how the Captain, while saluting the flag, can place his hand over his heart, when she has it. When girls appear in Mrs. Closeis gym classes, minus sleeves in their middies, they are instructed to grow some sleeves. Sometimes this makes us think that Mrs. Close is very optimistic, but then again she will have the consolation of knowing that she has at least attempted to plant the sleeve seed for the gym teachers that the girls will have in college. Mr. Bentel is going to have the Hotel Commerce sued for placing a mattress advertisement on the side of their building, in plain view of his chemistry classes. The professor claims that the mattress illustration detracts from .the morale of his students. Mrs.' Palmer: People who are unreliable cannot be relied upon, that's why I never rely upon unreliable people. They are too unreliable. Mrs. Close has a habit of separating red-heads who place themselves close together in gym. We wonder what premonitory sign from the heavens prompts this action. Mr. Cornell ftaking two ten dollar bills from his pocketl: Did you ever see these? You had better make their acquaintance, for you will need them some day. However, don'r ask me for these, as I need them badly myself. Mr. Chrislip: Andrew, are you mad at me? fAndrew grins., Now you show your teeth. I believe youire mad at me. You'll bite me if I don't watch out. Anyway I'm brave. 'Move up in front and let's be friends. Pupil: Mr. Tucker, the boy in back of me is looking on my paper. Mr. Tucker: Is that so? He can stay after school for cheating, and you can stay for being a tattle-tale. Remember, while you are on my farm, the whole stable hates a stool-pigeon. A certain well-known chemistry Prof. was caught reading an article in the Woman's Home Com- panion. The article was entitled How I VVould Make My Wife Over. Whm the reporter was about to publish this article the gentleman begged that names be withheld, as his wife had bought a ticket for the Bulldog Record. Teacher: Now remember, we are all pledged not to join any fraternities or sororities. Smart Alec ftrying to get a rise out of teacherj: I joined a fratemity today. if ' Teacher: What one, may I ask? Smart Alec: Signa-fy nothing. Teacher: In that case I will tell you that there is a secret meeting of my fraternity after school tonight. On this slip is written: Passat-to detention. Mr. Mabrey declares that the noise down on Hayes Street is getting so terrific that he is going to buy forty-two little megaphones for his pupils and one big one for himself. ' Mr. Chrislip: Tomorrow we'll have a little test-just for fun. We'll see how much you know. Perhaps you know so much you can't write it all down in one period. In that case you needn't worry.
