Our Teachers

A TRIBUTE The teaching profession is one that is without immediate results. They do not come until many years afterward, but in the end the products are noble and elevated characters. The seeds of the final results were pl»anted many years ago in the lives of the men and women, and the sowers were the teachers with whom the erstwhile children had daily contact. It were those beautiful examples of truth, endeavor and all else that is good, that the pupils sought to follow and strove to attain unto, until, walking closely in the footsteps of their preceptors they bloomed as upright, helpful citizens of the world. The teachers of Clinton High School h-ave always been such that they well merited the pride and honor of the whole town. But even we seniors, who have spent four years un- der their guidance, cannot appreciate in entirety the true friend each teacher has been to us, as a class, as indivduals. In the carelessness and inexperience of youth, the rush of events in our life and the proximity of our rel ations, their tireless endeavors in our behalf do not yet come home to us as they some day will. In anticipation of that day let the class of ’21 now express, inadequately as it may be, the mag- namimity and our indebtedness, to the most worthy faculty of the Clinton High School. 8

EBEN S. COBB Mr. Cobb is our perfectly human Principal. Many of us have delved into the mysteries of Chemistry under his guidance. He has been a wise, impartial friend to 1921. NELLIE B. KENT Miss Kent was absent from her classes for our first few weeks in “Plane” due to sickness. We shud- der when we think of the possi- bility of her not returning very speedily to her accustomed place. We cannot conceive of a more ideal “Math” teacher than Miss Kent. LEWIS S. GORDON, JR. Mr. Gordon has always been the confidante of our class officers. Our success in many undertakings has been largely due to him. 10
