THE FACULTY fContinuedl About Miss Kelso I'll next talk, Who makes us on the chalk line Walk, Unlike Miss Kendall, she is tall Altho I don't mean very small. Outside the classroom she is gay, But while in it she's strict alway. It is her aim and great desire To teach us all and thus inspire The pupils to do better work And not their lessons try to shirk. In 'this she conquers very well For in her class room I can tell Almost anything that's asked Except when she talks too fast. Sometimes we get a little gay, But when .she 'turns her eyes my way I try to sneak behind a lid Or in some way be wholly hid, So that she can not see my face And bring me to a sad disgrace. But when I have sense enough to say I think we're better off each day When not allowed to talk and play And waste our precious time away. Miss Kelso came to Cecil High To work for us and ours. To try To raise the standard of the school, To that above the average rule. To us she's been a loyal friend And her name we'll always all defend. Miss McBurney from Guntown near, Is now our science 'teacher dear. With light brown hair and two blue eyes And fair complexion you surmise, She quickly won the friend.ship of The many students who her love. At college, she in basket ball Starred in a degree that was not small. To-day she coaches every girl Just how a basket ball to hurlg Not only can she do this well, But in her class room she can tell Many things, which we've never heard While we sit still without a word. Sometimes we make a little noise, Then she quietly tells we boys To get to work and stop that fuss Or the matter with us she'll have to discuss But she is so good to us all We 'truly wish for her next fall. In French Miss Masquelier Teaches us that language dear. I'm sure that you all know her wellg So of her merits I need not tell. In her quiet charming way She teaches all of us to say Such useful 'things as J 'aime vous Which of course means I love you. For Miss Masquelier I'll say There's not a one in school today Who's not her friend most dear and true And for her sake anything would do. Mr. Kerr for years gone by Has been a music teacher high. To all of us he is known so well That much of him I will not tell Without hi.s work I'm very sure The high school could not long endure. Only by his efforts great Did we an orchestra create. Of him the .school is justly proud, And long will ring the praises loud, For the time he gave to it And thus the school did benefit. Of all our teachers I've tried to tell Although it may not have been done well.

SENIORS MARTHA THOMPSON Martha is now a Senior gay And on the violin she delights to playg But sometimes her bow she does forget Then she'll sit in school and fret and fret. In every class she is a star, Though an occassional prank may a lesson mar, Is very original in all her work And never a lesson does she shirk. Some college perhaps is where she'll land And, in events of the world will take a stand Convince her against her own will Sho always holds her own opinion still. Class Colors Class Flower Orange and White White Carnation Class Motto Veni, Vidi, Vici. 12. SYLVAN BEAUMARIAGE To preserve is one's dutyg To be silent is a good trait. As his name implies like the nvmph of old Sylvan loves silence, as that of the forest but vvhile he perseveres most studiously at each daily task we must confess his mind sometimes runs into a lighter strain. Why all day long As we rush about From 'the class room throng And in and out, Silence grips his very looksg But his mind's alert For some stray books Left in the hall by the ladies And lo, they return To find books nowhere. fair
