12 THE MONESSE The Faculty This the school year of ’28 and ’29, And my friends if you ' ll only listen, I shall read a little rhyme, For as yet I have not been smitten By the germ of poetry, So of course my feeble efforts Will not lead you far astray. This school year has its message, Frolic, fun and study too; And the unsets that do happen With the right and good and true All belong to high school training, Which sometimes brings us sorrows few; But more often brings us sunshine, Hope and love and strength anew. This school year has brought us students, Many Freshies, green as grass; And some others who are seeking The best way to surely pass. But the fate of every classman Rests in hands, the shining lights, Who we call the high school teachers ‘Cause they are so keen and bright. So my rh me will take each teacher, Man and lady, one by one; And reveal the thoughts of searchers Wbo ' ve been seeking for some fun. Smile my friends at what I’m reading If it strikes a humorous vein, For on Monday our dear teachers Will again hold every rein. Science, band and senior home room Are in charge of P. T. L., He ' s a daddy and a teacher, And mixes dope that has a smell. With a crayfish and some music He can sail the double ship; Without mentioning evolution Or improving penmanship. Manual arts are in the basement, Knots and loose nuts, plenty too Of drawing, sawing, hammering, carving For a glue pot ' s boiling stew. H. L. L. is the attendant, He dishes out the tools and wood; And steers each “Johnny’ ' in his project So every fact be understood. fi l cannot live on faith alone.”—Martin Unruh
