-- THE REFLECTOR ii- FUN 8: FEATURES THE FACULTY These teachers seem to have all the luck, They have no need to study, While we poor students slave and work. Gee! when will we be lucky? Miss Marlin teaches English IV, Gosh! is she ever tough! When it comes to essays and poems, She really knows her stuff. There's Mr. Lappin with Spanish and French, He's the French Club's pride and joy, When he plays football with the scrubs, You'ld th.ink he was just 'a boy. Mr. -Broadway's so stately and fine, He's almost seven feet tall, He's the tallest one we have here at school, But he doesn't mind at all. Miss Sul1ivan's still building her sky- scrapers tall, Just as she used to do. Maybe she'll get to the top some davg I hope I get there, too! Then there's Mr. Grubb and his tink- ling piano, Gosh! how that man can play. We could sit by the hour and listen to him, And never a word would we say. Mr. Newton thinks we should rise in the morning, Sing God Bless America twiceg He signed the draft and he's ready to g'0, ' . ' l-3 - ' For him-no marriage, no, rice. Arlie is the secretary, A ' She gives slips, pink and blue, E' ' And-when we say that we were ill, She wonders if it is true. Mr. Ivers teaches a subject, Which is very hard for all. And when we go to History class, My! how our grades do fall. The best of them fall is our principal, His name is Nelson L. Hake. Of all tlhe teachers here at school, He really takes the cake. I-Ie gets a little peeved sometimes, But we can't blame him much. The way we ,act land carry on, We're really a noisy bunch. We Seniors bid ifarewell to you, The teachers and old F.C.H.S. When We're askedfifwe enjoyed it all, y -e - We'll nod our heads and say Yes . -Dolly Corder -l. SPRING FEVER I want to get out of the classroom Away from care and work And fling myself on the cool green earth And shirk-and shirk-and shirk! I want to get out on the hillside And pluck myself a spray Of violets and a goldenrod, And play-and play-and play! I want to get out in the open Under the sunray's beam And .sit down by a sparkling brook And dream-and dream-and dream! I like to get out in the springtime And go somewhere away To a budding wood or meadowland And stay-and stay-and stay! -Evelyn Newby
