fflljr East tmr (A Parody.) Between 2:30 and the closing When our spirits begin to lower, Comes a pause in the school day’s confusion That is known as the “restless hour.” I hear in Room 20 around me The scraping of pencils that squeak, The sound of the doors that are slamming, And a murmur as many mouths speak. A whisper, a giggle, then silence And “The Head”, they observe and surmise That he is plotting and planning a lecture— They can tell by the gleam of his eyes. “I wish you would try to be careful And not make such noise on the stair; I’ve requested you over and over And I hardly can see how you dare.” “This noise will have to be lessened, You should bar it forever from schools, Because if you wish to remain here You will have to abide by the rules.” “I don’t wish to be arbitrary, To fret and to scold’s not my rule, But at last, I have reached a conclusion,— You boys may stay after school.” When the trials of each day are over. With his coat and his hat in his arms, He proceeds to the room of his pupils, And talks of the world and its charms. Ah, this is the life of a teacher Who teaches our Commerce High. This is written that he may remember The last hour to cherish us by. 146 HARVEY CLASS, 1915.
