The Sphinx Facelty Poem Onct we had the nicest faculty, That ever taught a school, Hut when we cut up capers And broke ’most every rule Mrs. Cutting lectured, and the rest began to scold. But this to our discomfort we learned without a doubt, That Mrs. Cutting will get you, if You don’t Watch out. We each have an ambition, a dearly cherished goal. But none of us have reached it, at least, that’s what we’re told. We may all teach English as Miss Alora does each day, But the Freshmen will miss her when she’s gone away. Miss Kelly, the Sophomore’s favorite, can boost because she’s stout, But the Seniors will get her, if They don’t Watch out. Miss Anderson’s bright and shining locks, are fostered well with care, But she cannot vamp the Seniors With that w’ondrous “Midas hair”. Mr. Fiedling is divided ’tween Physics lab and gym, But if he doesn’t soon decide what he’s about, Botany or Cooking will get him, if He don’t Watch out. Among our teachers dignified, there is a little dear, M iss Dennis though so very small, there are times we greatly fear. But there’s always something doing at vacation time you bet, The gayest little teacher, her teacherism sometimes forgets Her place and her dignity and what she’s about, But a lawyer’ll get her, if She don’t Watch out. M iss Hunschc’s future plans to us arc left a mystery, We simply can’t imagine who she intends to be, But by the packages and letters the postman brings each day. We think we’ll find our answer in Chicago, U. S. A. Miss Mitchell, clicks the typewriter in a very business-like way. Miss Ward is so pleasant, she’s just a good ’ole scout. But a little “Ford” is gonna get her, if She don’t Watch out. Wonderful woman is Mrs. Parrish, first in all she does. Twice she’s been our counselor, a splendid one she wuz. Mrs. Johns from her domain upon the second floor, Keeps the school in a musical uproar. Miss Miller, the faculty skeleton, teaches us how to grow stout, But even she will cook you, if You don’t Watch out. Mr. Huck is so bashful in everything he does, Mr. Collard in handcuffs put the school in quite a buzz. Mr. Wright, of all our teachers, is the wittiest one yet. Mr. Helm did something Christmas which we just can’t forget, She’s very sweet and dainty with a pretty little pout. And she certainly did get him; cause He didn’t Watch out.
