12 THE MONESSE The Faculty Every year our school is longing For some rhymes about the group, That’s in charge and subjects teaching To the eager happy youth. The faculty is what we call them, When we put on classic airs; But ‘High School Teachers’’ seems more common To lads and lassies ' tending there. Some are men and some are women, That teach the classes in our school; So, in these rhymes we must remember That words for each one is the rule. The hirst in line is apostolic In name at least, they call him Paul; To toot the horn for him is frolic Because he is a Lil-ye-dahl; He butchers bugs and cuts up flowers, Mixes dope and fills the air With stuff that smells to all us youngsters Like something is in great despair. ff Hunger” and “Ford’ are also present Combined in one familiar name, He teaches “Ag. ” and sprays with essence That makes the microbes terribly lame. Corn and milk he tests each season, The capons he does love to eat, And in this menu lies the reason For his plump and fine physique. Mr. Henry L. is still a nailing In the basement of our school, And his boys are still detailing With the square and sliding rule Girls he has not in his classes, They cannot hammer, nail nor glue, So his old room is void of lasses And all their fret and storm and stew. Our Coach Moore took a vacation, And, as he said, a needed rest, But he came back with a full ration, A little wife, the very best. And now he tries out his pet theory Of buy and sell and meet demand, Of household duties, sometimes weary When eggs stick to the frying pan. “Is a college education necessary to become a member of the faculty?”—Jack Cromwell
