T H E M I R R O R When the last lessons l1ave been recited, And rules have gone whence they came, When no one shall teach for money, And no one shall work for fame, When each for the pure love of teaching With a happy and contented air, Shall give tests whenever he pleases To students who do not care. -Ruth E.

T H E M 1 R R o R The Junior High School Faculty No one can ever accuse the Junior High School faculty of being an exclusive body. Indeed, the members feel themselves important parts of the Senior High School staff, and have seldom indulged in activities of their own. They always insist upon being included with the Senior High School teachers in their faculty meetings and social events. There are three groups into which tl1e Junior High School faculty may be divided: The Shack Dwellers, the Specials, and the New Arrivals. What,s in a name? Pray do not draw an unfavorable conclu- sion concerning the Shack Dwellersf' Indeed, the title tells a whole history of trials endured and battles won. During the erection of our new building this group dwelt in a rudely constructed edifice, which, after the spring rains, was a veritable Cottage by the Lake? Miss Newnham held sway over her domain, and succeeded in ruling with a firm but kindly hand. Miss Lenahan's kingdom was Room 13. There she imparted valuable information concerning consonants and vowels Hlld crossing your i's and t's. It is said that Miss Corbin, the source of authentic information on American History, while working in the Shack composed the song, the first stanza of which runs something like this: My name is Yankee Doodle and my home's the U. S. A., I'm getting pretty husky now and growing every day. Columbus brought me over here in 1-192, And landed me on Plymouth Rock to see what I could do. The task of teaching English was intrusted to Miss Laird. During the period spent in the Shack the special teachers rather avoided the Junior High School, but, since the department has been honored by positions in the new building, they have deigned to con- sider it rather important, after all. Miss Peterson and Miss Landy are teaching the girls the art of homemaking, Miss Felts and Mr. Krum develop the artistic, Mr. Peck, Miss Knights, and Miss Church are especially interested in the physical well being of the pupils, Miss Dafoe is the songster, while Mr. Scofield teaches the boys to wield the hammer and plane. With the removal of the department from the Shack to the new building came the New Arrivals. No longer is Miss Davidson's Sixth A Grade in the elementary school. lt has been included in the Junior High School. Miss Wilson, whose Medina past has been spent at the Oak Orchard School, now is on the Junior High School English staff. It is quite evident that they feel most honored in being included in this august body. . Fourteen
