Dedication Harvey Riedlinger. A XIII C We, the students of K. C. I. We, Cthat is, both you and D Are concerned with a matter Cthis should bring on a laughj As to what to do with this matter of staff . We've delved in the library, searched high and low, And we nnd that our problems just grow and still grow. We love our dear teachers for all that they lack, Yes, we love them though often our knuckles they crack, Or our heads, Cstill deciding which hurts the mostil They find that a student is much like a post, And whether you strike at the crown or the base No feeling responds and he sticks to his place. But back to my tale 'ere the hours wear on, And from our old school house the students are gone. So we'll start with the principal mighty and strong: Mr. Ziegler can still tell the write from the rong. Now walk down the corridor silent and grey, No! Don't go in there, because in there they prey On the late and the absentee, but don't you dare chaff At J. Zeller's own two zero six and a half! Turn to the left, hangers meet with the eye- What a quiet recess! O.K. wise guy That's the girls' cloakroom, so move down one door Where Miss Eager speaks Latin in tongue evermore Most envied by students. Then look 'cross the hall Where O'Connell re-echoes Miss Eagar's call In accents strange, 'tis a joy to hear. But we must move along for the final bell's near. And to cut down on space Cthat dear, precious thingy We'll group all together their praises to sing: Class, Wallace, MacMillian, and so down the line- Hodd, Pugh, Lang and Harding, we could write a long time Till we'd spanned Academic, Commercial and Tech, And we'd torn wide each life's work and left it a wreck. But instead we'll be gen'rous, for space crimps our style And to show we're true sports. we'll go the last mile. For we now give you something to treasure, not hide. This Grumbler, our Grumbler. our joy and our pride.
