To the Faculty “Time hastens by on his steed so bold; Our parting is near, so we are told. He rides so stately and swift, too, And leaves only pleasant memories of you. Memories of hours spent in play and work, When often our duties we would shirk. You’ve labored and given us ceaseless aid, And to you, now, our respect is paid. You’ve led us thus far to the successful road, And you’ve helped us to bear our heavy load. Time loiters not a second to explain to all The tasks you’ve done both great and small. For we realize what friends you’ve been, In lessening our difficulties whene’er they entered in. Dear Faculty, perhaps you’ve often thought The things you did we appreciated not. But though we were trying and misbehaved at times, Chewing gum, throwing paper, passing notes were our crimes. We’ve loved you all through each high school day, And we appreciate your kindness in every way. Now on his steed, Time has flitted by, But our memories of you will never die.’ RUTH INGLEDUE, ’28. Perhaps the sentiment is prevalent among the high school students that our faculty is an invincible force that are just there merely for the sake of keeping us busy and have no personal concern whatsoever. We’re sure if one could but read the inner most thoughts toward us at such times we should discover quite a different condition. Instead, the fact that they are our instructors does not alter the fact that they are one among us. As time wears on they become a part of our lives and extend their sympathies in our troubles which they share. With this in mind we should be considerate of differences, if it were not for these, wouldn’t this certainly be an ideal place of satisfaction and contentment for all? What bunch of high school students could claim a more illustrious faculty than that of which Ada High School can boast? With Mr. Crawford and Mr. Findley as pilots everything is kept in perfect running order. Such able co-workers as Miss Crawford, Miss Barnes, Miss Bossert, Miss Doty, Miss Zeigler, Miss Thompson and Mrs. Mowen on the lady staff and Mr. Theisen, Mr. Codding and Mr. McElwain insure success of our institution on every hand. It is our desire that following classes in Ada High School may be so fortunate as to have a set of instructors that will compare with these under whom we shall graduate. THE SENIORS.
