All Aboard It was in forty-seven that Our journey we'd begun Aboard that jolly vessel called The Good Ship Madison. The Captain was a hearty chap Intelligent and able. But no one ever wanted to Sit with him at his table. He had some good lieutenants who Pink tickets used to sell. 'Twas not long in our voyage that We knew their cabins well. The crew they were a jolly lot Who knew of many things. Of theorems, of Spanish verbs, Of when the late bell rings. The ship itself was well designed Equipped for stormy seas. It had a lot of portholes, And we often gazed at these. And so upon our four-year course We sailed with little care. Although we sometimes suffered from A bit of mal de mer. Now soon we'1l get our passports which Proclaim our journey's done. Our ship has docked. We'll bid farewell To good old Madison. ABBY AVIN UM-50A-aa

He has been at Madison for 292 years and contends that his time in the army gave him an appreciation of the finer things in life. Perhaps, the philosophical in our famed bard forced him to give this Hnal comment, It is indicative of a not too perfect situation when a teacher with two suits becomes a fashion plate. MOST ELOQUENT-Mrs. Whitlock The lady of the golden tongue, Mrs. Whitlock, was very mod- est when informed of her election as most eloquent teacher. I attribute my success to my students. I've learned to spell, I've learned to write sentences, plus many other things which I do not care to mention. Why, just standing in the Highway office you get eloquence by osmosis, remarked the famed mentor of the school's newspaper. GREATEST SERVICE TO STUDENTS-Mr. Tobin Mr. Tobin, our college adviser for over 17 years says that he considers his work. Uthe most interesting type of work I could imagine. But, the Job has certain drawbacks. states Mr. Tobin. I feel as keenly as the pupils do when they are not accepted by the college of their first choice.

In private life Mr. Sachs lists his favorite sports as loafing and black magic: his favorite recreation as sleeping and dozing in class and his favorite spectator sport as watching others loaf. But, he had to run quickly as he is now busy trying to take the spell off Mr. Adelson and Mr. Orshan. HANDSOME HERO-Mr. Mannix Mr. Mannix, the heart-throb of the history department, was reticent about giving any details of his success. However, paren- tal pride forced him to admit that he has two of the most beau- tiful children in the world. He has been teaching at Madison twenty years and each term has had to inform the heartbroken girls that he is happily married, BEST SPORT-Mr. Blumstein Mr. Blumstein has been at Madison twenty-five years and has
