The Poly Tech fmihme 1925 The Ideal Teacher By CLARENCE BEEDE Each student has dreams and ideas Of a teacher as she ought to be, And my ideal teacher is surely a queen, And her I Wish you could see. For when you come to school some morn ing, XVith a terrible pain in your head, Because you were out to the movies VVhen you should have been in bed, My teacher, instead of harping On the lesson you should have had, VVill lay her hand on your fevered brow, VVith I'm sorry you feel so bad. Again, when you yield to temptation, 'Tis your lessons that suffer once more, But ah! as she lists to your bluffing, VVill say, with that smile you adore, It's all right, I know all about it, And lessons can wait, you know, I had the Same things happen Not many years ago. When the clock strikes ten in the morning When first you enter the hall, She says 'Sleep is more necessary, Vfhen one is growing so tall. But ah, dear fellow sufferers, l'm afraid this can never be true, I think that it's only in heaven We ever will find her, don't you?
