OUR SQUIRRELS, CHI-ITTER AND PATTER, VISIT THE TEACHERS Chater, the fat bushy-tailed squirrel so often seen racing to the maples on Sixth Street near Tech, says to his sister Patter, You know, we never see much of the teachers. Let's go in- side the buildings and hunt 'em up-the ones we can't seem to see from favorite window sills. What say, Patter? O. K. with me, replies Patter. There goes a blonde student to the front door of Tech. Let's follow her! Oh look, what is that boy doing on the stage with a golf club in his hand? asks Patter. I never knew Miss Baker gave golf lessons. That is a speech student, replies Chatter, and everyone has to give one demonstration speech in the course. Miss Baker is also very much interested in plays and stage productions. She certainly does know what adult and school age audiences like. You know if you don't get the leading role, there is always crew work which is neces- sary ot make a play a success, Miss Baker tells us' Q Q C D Do I hear a stampede of elephants? What would they be doing in high school? asks Patter. lt does sound like a stampede, but it is only Mr. Bauer's gym class running around the gym. I hear Mr. Bauer's classes have good basket- ball games. That must be because he is head basketball cogchf' i i i Washington was president during the Civil war and Lincoln during the Revolutionary, re- cites happy Chatter. No, No, you have them twisted, Chatter. My! Mr. Baxter would never give you an A for that recitation, scolds Patter. Does he teach American History and Gov- ernment? asks Chatter ignoring the reproof. Yes, and his students know much more than you, chimed Patter as she ran. I I l i' While hopping merrily along deserted halls, Patter suddenly hears a musical voice. I know who that is, says Chatter. That's Mr. I. Martin Beck, the great music teacher. You've heard of him. He's the one that swings his arms in front of the A Cappella Choir. Oh, yes, I know him. He's the one in room 130 that has the kids make all the pretty noise. Q i l i Hearing no music they decide to go on. Take a look at all the lines Mr. Benedict is putting on the blackboard, gasps Chatter. That sure looks like a Chinese puzz1e, laughs Patter. I-Ie's the teacher that coached Freshman football and basketball. Guard that guy! Don't let him shoot! lump! those are the words heard by Chatter and Pat- ter as they near the gym. Upon entering they find the explanation for all the noise ,for it is Mr. Block trying his best to keep his basketball team in training. Boy! look at those boys go, and all the bas- kets they make, exclaims Chatter, that goes to show what training does. If they keep up the good work, we should have a winning team next season, says Patter. Yeh! , answers Chatter, and Mr. Block teaches Commercial Science too. ' l' I True, True. Somebody must have answered a question correctly, says Chatter. Isn't that Miss Brown's English Class? I understand those are her favorite words, he adds. Q i i Q Patter, those sophomores act as though they were walking the last mile, says Chatter. You would too, Chatter, if you had received the terrible shock they just got. Mr. Burton is requiring an essay on the French Revolution from all his.history students, replies Patter. R R Q t Suddenly becoming hungry after looking in classrooms, they decide to eat lunch and exit when Lincoln south door opens between classes. Finding no nuts on the squirrel feeder, Patter says, I know where there is really some good food. Where? asks Chatter. Why in Miss Coffland's cooking class. She is really a good cook. All the girls learn to make good things to eat there. Once in a while there is an accident as someone burns some- thing or a cake falls, but as a rule things are pretty good. Do they have any nuts to eat? Chatter questions. I don't know. It all depends on what period it is. Let's look in here and see what the clock says. 1' Q i l Oh! Chatter, let's look in room 318 where Mr. Diller is teaching mathematics, chatters Pater. That boy in the red shirt doesn't know how to multiply, exclaims Chatter. That's nothing, laughs Patter, I only got to addition. l 1 l 'I That well-built man on the stairs, Patter, ls Mr. Eaton. He has charge of work permits. He teaches history too. Patter, what do you suppose that noise is? asks Chatter. I don't know, Chatter, but it sounds like a buzz saw I once got my tail caught in. Maybe we shouldn't look in this room. Of course we'll look. Say, this doesn't look like a classroom. See those funny machines, they are sewing machines, they sound like a buzz saw. Oh! Then this is Miss Eubank's sewing class, where the girls learn to make pretty dresses, exclaims Patter.

Yes and just look over here. lsn't this a pretty tormal? I know one girl who is planning to go to the Spring Formal. Q i i D Chatter, let's you and I go to Mrs. Fay's room! exclaims Patter. Why? Oh! didn't you recall that we are entertain- ing our club next week, and I want to learn how to conduct the meeting. Mrs. Fay's classes are studying how, exclaimed Patter. I i' I Q Watch out! cries Chatter. Here come the girls around the gym track. Oh! shouts Patter as he narrowly missed being trompled by running feet. I believe that's Miss Fosselius down there. Yes, nodds Chatter, She's the girls' gym teacher. I wou1dn't mind staying here a little longer, hints Patter. Q 1 -A w , Hey, Patter, look in this room. There seems to be a discussion over something, shouts Chatter. Yes, l've seen it many times, explains Pat- ter. You see Mr. Funk's classes are learning how to be A-1 on the subject ot bkookkeeping. R i I certainly did learn a lot about personali- ties, the developing and use of them, when I dropped into Mr. Gast's Sociology class last fall, said Chatter. l understand that he gave a General Ques- tion test to his Soc. classes that really went over big with the students. You know Mr. Gast is in the insurance business now and he insured me, so now I'm worth a lot more than most people think squirrels are worth. Y Q i 1 Psst Chatter, come here a minute and look at this class. How quiet everything is! This is the quietest class we've been in. They must really like this subject. It's a nice thought, Chatter, replies Patter, this is Mr. Gleason's 7th period History class and look, there he is trying desperately to keep them awake. Shus-listen- Come on you guys, up and at 'em. Rome wasn't built in a day and you can't learn His- tory by sleeping. It you aren't careful, l'll tell you another one ot my jokes. Oh! no, Mr. Gleason, not that! We'll pay at- tention, cries the class. Gosh, Patter, do you really think the kids don't like history. No, Chatter, they really love it. It's just that they eat too much at lunch. Iust to show you how smart they are l'll ask that boy over there a question. Iohnny, who sailed around the tip ot South America? Well, ah-oh-Mr. Gleason did. Why do you say that, Iohnny, asks Patter. Well, he's been almost everywhere elseg he must have been down there somtime, replies lohnny. Oh! come on, Patter! These kids are too smart for us, Let's go. Q' 'I' Q i 'I Hey Chatter, look at those two girls lying on the floor. That one looks like she's dead. What kind ot a class is this anyway? Oh! Patter, she's not dead. They're just demonstrating how to give artificial respiration. Everyone in Mrs. Harrison's speech class has to do a Pan-a-mine. What's a Pana-pana- Pantomime is the word, Patter, and it means doing something in front ot someone without any words, using actions, and making them guess what you're doing. Guess what I'm doing, Chatter. Oh, all right, I don't even have to look at you to know what you want. We'll eat as soon as I watch this boy demonstrate how to swimp maybe l can pick up some good pointers. Q i 1' Chatter! Do you have a guilty conscience? asks Patter teasingly. Where can I study about American History and Government? asks studious Chatter. I would like to go to Columbus with the class next year. Then you've got plenty of studying to do, says Patter trying to hide his laughter, atter all you aren't too brilliant. Do you suppose Mr. Hennings will help me? hints Chatter, hurt at Patter's laughter. I'm not sure, cries Patter as he runs swiftly down the hall. i l 1 i Look at Miss Herd's class: it's laughing, chatters Patter. Yes, that's one class where they have a lot of tun and still get their lessons, gasps Chat- ter. H 1 Q 1 l At an open door he paused, peers in, says to Patter- What I see looks like a good example ot the art ot scribb1ing. Don't be nosey, warns Patter. Miss Hess is writing a letter to her students in shorthand. i I i i Look in this window, says Chatter. That's Mr. Hoftamn's English II class. Every- one in there is learning about intinitives, de- clares Chatter. Oh, infinitives and verbs would drive me crazy. Let's go somewhere else, impatiently replies Patter. . Q' Q 1 What are these students in that room trying to learn, Patter? Miss Hornyak is trying to teach them how to be good salesmen, and I am sure they will be before they are through. ':?Patter, didn't we see her teaching typing too. Yes, Chatter, she does teach typing too. I f Q Q I think l'd like to learn Latin, if Rome was anything like this, dreamed Chatter. Do you mean porto and Puer and things such as that? questioned Patter. Yes, Miss Iones' room is right hereg let's go look in, prompts Chatter. The students are reciting declensions and conjugations. Boy, I wish I could say my Latin like that. These kids must really know what they are talking about. Let's go. I'm hungry. Q l Q f Here is Miss Kelly's English class, Chatter. Let's go in and see what they are doing. Patter, do you understand what they are talking about? Cacaues and Citizen don't mean anything to me. Why, Chatter, don't you remember reading Dickens' A Tale ot Two Cities, every sophomore reads it in English. tContinued on page 923
