Please meet the faculty in rh me and verse, And after all the might have been Worse-- For saying an more 'tis neither time or place And anyway We don't have enough space. Mr. Kaufman can't play a fife, But he managed to get himself a wife. His wife, he informed, his eggs to poach Being's he's a wow o f a n athletic coach. .-Q. After all is said and done Teaching history ain't no fun, She chose matrimony instead- Well! Well! For Miss Forney there's trouble ahead. ...Q1 Button, button-who's got the button? If you want to know ask Miss Sutton. She knows how to cook and sew, And she makes lovely biscuit dough. 1Q1 Mr. Regier is the musician, In the school he holds this position, He works from early till late, His first practice beginning at eight. 10. Mr. Engelhardt, superintendent of the school, Likes mince pie as a general ruleg He has a wife and children, two, Don't think he has nothing to do. -Q... It's Miss Smith, not Jones or Brown, She's our Spanish and Latin teacher of great renown, She's our dramatic coach, also, As all of you must already know. -O Mr. Van Camp is a faculty member, And his birthday is in December, How he does it, there's no explaining, But he teaches the manual training. LQ, Miss McBurney, who reigns over study hall, Sits at her desk with a lordly look, And if you whisper you're asked to call After school to the study nook. .-Q1 Miss Wolfe has girl's sports, And sewing and biology-what fun! But, from all of the reports, She'll soon be going to Washington. .Q1 Miss Kellogg, we hear, Is going to attend school next year. She taught English and sponsored G. R. And she has-uh, well-a car. ...Q- Miss Hardesty teaches t h e freshman English class, And also has the Oracle staff. The freshman class keeps her busy But the Oracle staff makes her dizzy. ,Q- Mr. Osborn teaches chemistry, Which to many is a mystery, If you hear a big commotion, You know there has occurred a big explosion. 3 Mr. Gish reads the Topeka Capital, we know, Because every days he tells us so. He writes excuses for the absent and late, And holds in his hand the economic students' fate. 1Q1 Mr. Teas, now if you please, He says he likes limburger cheese. He teaches the agriculture boy how To keep, and feed, and milk a cow. ,Q-. Miss Heberling teaches part of the com- mercial course, And rules the students with all her force. She is preparing them for future years Which will do away with financial fears. ,Qi This phrase is often heard in typing class, , To get speed, Step on the gas. Miss Anderson also does office work, And never do you see her shirk. .-Q.- And now in closing this page of rhyme, We hope it hasn't been a waste of time. Now, dear teachers, don't take this to heart, For really, we didn't mean it from the start.
