W, N TO OUR FACULTY As Given by Barney Grafa at the Junior-Senior Banquet Before I begin to make this little speech I want to beg: I want to beseech All my teachers, both men and maids Not to count my remarks against my grades. I'll begin with Mr. Shiflett since he's the boss Whom we all must mind so he won't get cross. For though he's Wearing a pleasant smile tonight, l've seen him looking as if he could bite. Miss Rippy's another for whom we have to step. She's little, it's true, but she's full of pep. Mr. Barry teaches math and coaches football. We like some of his jokes but laugh at them all. Miss Miley and Mr, Cotner are geniuses, one might say, For the amount of history they've stored away, But if you ever get into one of their classes, Before you get out, you'l1 be needing glasses: For the amount of work they assign is a perfect sight: Hundred page lessons are their greatest delight. Mrs. Barry teaches Latin and often coaches a play. No wonder she looks as she does to-day. Miss Klapproth's real quiet, and when she's around, You'd better be quiet too and not make a sound. Miss Pawelek and Miss Kolaja teach our girls to cook and sew, If I were a man, l'd try to be their beau. Mrs. Dunagan teaches English, and she talks all the time. She's talking right now, l'll bet a dime. Miss I-Iefner's the luckiest teacher in high school, they say, She gets to teach six Spanish classes every day, Miss Burrus is always easy to look at, as you can see. l'm going to be in her class next year: don't you gentlemen envy me? Miss Solomon teaches music, and, I will vow, She can sing as sweetly as a bird on a bough. Mr. Shrader is new in our school this year, and we think he is grand. I-Ie teaches science and directs the band. He's not very large: in fact he's little bitty, But y0u'll enjoy knowing him for he sure is witty. Miss Lanham, as you can see, is the beauty of our schools. I wish all the others would learn her rules. Mrs. Myrick teaches shorthand, bookkeeping, and typing too. If there ever is an extra job, we give it to her to do. Miss Cartwright is a dainty miss to have so much algebra inside her bean, But there she sits all undisturbed, in fact, she's quite serene. Before I sit down, friends, I want to testify That I like every teacher' in old Midland High. I think they're the smartest, best-looking crowd, And that's the reason I feel so proud That my toast is to the faculty, Vkfhich is everything that it ought to be. Page Twenty-rhree
