12 The Monesse 4 To The Faculty By Horace Carr Here’s to Marvin J. Schmitt, sub-boss of our school, The main assembly he is supposed to rule. He signs our excuses, when in the right frame of mind, Or else in the office we hear the same line. Then there is Witty, the tall bobbed brunette, Men and boys take a look and never forget. Munson’s robbed her of a chance to show what she can do In the pie, cake, fruit-salad and creamed chicken line too. Liberty, the careful, painstaking boss. Whoever heard of him getting cross? His sawed and turned works are the best to be found Be they long, thin or short, lop-sided or round. Then there is Baker, ruler of Lab., Who produces the best teams that are to be had. His hopes lie in Michigan, near that Hope College joint; Perhaps some day, who knows, they’ll take a run to Crown Point. Here is to Miller, our Coal City find, Possessor of one of the few perfect minds. She is always right, we always wrong; Unless we decide to echo her song. Miss Melby is one of the queerest of teachers, For her motto is “act,” she seldom preaches. Ask McCarty and his cronies if they remember the day She was the cause of all that Munson had to say. Here’s to Miss Coontz, whose literary renown And witty sarcasm are known to the town. She hopes some day to be a prominent American And has the brains to be one, although she’s not a man. Miss Britton is the teacher of Musical History; A subject, which to Price, will always be a mystery. In her seventh period assembly one hears a terrible roaring; Don’t look so alarmed, it’s just Harry Park snoring. Her’s to Miss Hardy and the Commercial Room, Where one hears music and the boom Of typewriters all in tune And everybody happy as a day in June. Let’s not forget Dahlquist, the tallest of lasses; She is well noted for her after-school classes. When the majority of students have left for their homes, There sits the repentant Buster, but not alone. “Let us remember our brothers and sisters.”

The Monesse 13 Last comes Hunger ford with his jovial face, He anchors down the building; holds it in place. As the reformer of boys he heads the whole list, Did he not change Dewey’s life from one of wormwood to bliss? But wait, let me thing , someone I’ve forgot, He subs for the teachers when they are not on the spot. Yes, it’s Munson, whom the Asylum Cityites have learned to despise, Because at their misdemeanors he failed to close his eyes. He’s one big reason why Momence is on the map In basketball and football and all things like that. SCENES OF CHILDHOOD By Pearl Brassard Momence! The scenes of childho od’s ways Kindergarten, grade and high school days, Where gaily the Kankakee flowed on and on Never ceasing to bring its merry song. Winter sports were cheery; and summer, too, Brought to many a cheek a rosy hue. Often I think of the hours spent there in play Whiling the good part of life away. If such love and joy, life always contained, In Momence forever would I have remained. ,e Say kind words about our teachers—they need it.”
