THE ‘ORACUE The Two Teachers To the Music of the Two Grenadiers. In High School were weeping two instructors, Two noble teachers together, And as they wept in the empty room It seemed like rainy weather. For they had just heard the sorrowful news, Naught-seven the school was leaving. That valiant class would disperséd be— No wonder the teachers were grieving! Then sorrowed together those teachers twain, Such doleful news to be learning. And one spoke out with language plain, ) “The last day now is nearing. The other said: “’Tis all too true. Would that I forth were hieing, But there’s the freshmen and junior class On me for instruction relying.” “T care not a whoop for the junior class, For the sophs my heart’s not grieving. Let them all go to hang for aught I care— Naught-seven, naught-seven is leaving! O grant me this last prayer of mine, When my last day I must number, My body place near the school house walk, At the school door let me slumber. My class-room record with its E’s Lay close beside my hand, My pencil place within its leaves And about it a rubber band.
