PAGE 58 19 THE COMET 1 TEACH ER-LEADER-HUMOR I ST Come sit around me comrades While a story I do tell Of a tall and stately teacher, A man you all know well. He came from South Missouri, A place he loves quite wellg He likes to sit and tell stories, And we hate to hear the bell. He got his education Down there among the hillsg He was really- smart, they tell me And really put on the frills. When his high-school days were over He really felt his oatsg ' He decided to go to Warrensburg Instead of raising goats. He did quite well in college 5 At least they let him through, And as he started teaching The more his ambition grew. One day he met a fine young girl And began taking her aroun'g It wasn't long until the two Had thoughts of settling down. He made this little girl his wife And now they have two girlsg One looks exactly like her dad, With big blue eyes and curls. Now he has been my teacher For lo, these four, long years 3 He mixes fun and science As he sits and wiggles his ears. You've surely guessed by this time The person I'm talking about, Prof Welch, our Superintendent, Let's give him one loud shout! ixsx RNA R -l 'XXXKX 'fiat 8 -A 0 o so Q Q Q
