Amoeba proteus

Gale to the Amoeba Recall from Time's abysmal chasm That piece of primal protoplasm The First Amoeba, strangely splendid, From whom we're all of us descended. That First Amoeba, weirdly clever, Exists today and shall forever, Because he reproduced by fission, He split himself, and each division And subdivision deemed it fitting To keep on splitting, splitting, splitting So, whatsoe'er their billions be, All, all amoebas still are he. Zoologists discern his features In every sort of breathing creatures, Since all of every living species, No matter how their breed increases Or how their ranks have been recruited, From him alone were evoluted. King Solomon, the Queen of Sheba And Hoover sprang from that amoebag Columbus, Shakespeare, Darwin, Shelley Derived from that same bit of jelly. So famed he is and well-connected, His statue ought to be erected, For you and I and William Beebe Are undeniably amoebae!

Qperate School Running a school the size of Sea- holm is not an easy task. Besides the principal, three full time admin- istrators guide the work of the school. Assistant Principal Dr. Cur- tis is the building director and close assistant to Mr. Wagner. In his absense he is in charge. He coor- dinates the activities of the teaching staff and the student body. Two as- sistants to the principal, Mrs. Mari- lyn Schlain and Mr. John Leaver, assist in the activities and attend- ance areas. Each has other respon- sibilities as directed by the prin- cipal. An important adjunct to the ad- ministration is the core of secre- taries who provide the clerical as- sistance necessary to operate the school. They range from the per- sonal secretary to the principal to clerks in the library and attendance department. C23 M52 WWW if Q X X ,,,,ffw
