THE GRUMBLER I don’t see why they chose me for a grumbler. I never grumble, but what’s the use of talking? Nothing is ever done right around here anymore. Of course, anyone knows they could have gotten better teachers for Dalton this year. Take that Coach Thornton Dever for instance. That horrible person made us run five laps around the gym one way, and to top that, he made us turn around and run five the other way. Now I ask you, isn’t that awful? That Corine Utterback! She’s another character. Do you realize she made us memorize about half of our literature book. It’s all unnecessary, don’t you think? That principal A. O. Richards! He surely is a pain in the neck. He won't even let us chew gum in time books, and another thing, he makes us get at least two problems every day before class or in class. He sure is hard on us. Esmer Wyatt, our typing teacher, won't even let us have one little old mistake on our typing. That’s getting to be awful. Oh! Lord! That Jewell W. Logan. He won’t even let us skip his class and go to the store. I think he has forgotten he was young once. Those cooks we have! They are awful too. They won’t even let us have more than two servings of food. The Senior Class this time surely is dumb. Well, don’t you know Ann Hubbard actually made an A-. Isn’t that terrible? Janitors! Did you ever in your life see such lazy people? They won’t even sweep the floor more than once every day. And to beat it all the bus drivers won’t let us carve our initials on the sides of the buses. If we don’t do this how will people remember us ? By- George Downing 15
