We congratulate these three on their wonderful metamor: i phoses. oA If you've found a man Who knows all about Chemistry, Who can preside over assemblies with ease, 2 And rehearse for concerts with success ; Who has a smile and a word for everyone; Then you've found Mr. Cowan. “Swim like a swan.” “Walk like Venus.” “Stand as we do.” “Be complete each week .” These are the mandates of Mrs, Connelly, Miss Chandler, Mrs. Amos, and Miss Williamson. For the correction of our defects in speech and delivery, For the presentation of cultural and instructive entertain- ments, We owe all gratitude and praise to Miss Burrill Who is constantly holding up our standard in dramaties. Miss Elsie Brown reminds us of Elaine In “The Idylls of the King.” The Honor Society owes a great deal to her. Dr. Cooper's gentle influence in the school And her high ideals of scholarship Mean much to Dunbar. There are some who have been omitted, But there isn’t room, you see— So accept our appreciation for your help and interest. Miss Datcher (to pupils in chem. lab.) : “Pupils, this gas is highly combustible. If it should explode, what steps would you take?” One of the pupils: “Long ones.” Dr. Dykes: “Miss Fletcher, I want you to use an adjective before ‘story.’ Do not use good, fine, wonderful or great.” Miss Fletcher: “True Story.” ‘eacher: “Students, if each of us were to turn and look ourselves squarely in the face, what should we each find we needed most?” .
