.... iffarulty Sok B .... Smanthy Hayseed, Onion Street, Punkinv lle. Dere Smanthy: I thot mebe you ' d be interested in the do- in ' s of this here skule. Expecially about the petagoges (ain ' t that eloquent, Smanthy?) Well, Mr. Lauterbach, he is the boss at this here skule, and he is the most diverse man you ever did see. Also, he ' s in love with a girl, but he can ' t help it, Smanthy, he ' s just like I am about you. He has a cheap ring- in great conspiquity on his watch chain, and it looks like tin; mebe it ' s copper tho. I ' m al- ways magnamious, ain ' t that so Smanthy? I ' ve heard even that he ' s taken corsage bou- quets of sweet peas to her, Smanthy. Miss McKee (she ' s just like you, Sman- thy) and she ' s sum algebre techer. Actuly, Smanthy, she nos mor about algebre than I do, and so you can jest imagin ' how smart she is. I like her tho, Smanthy, cause I can have so much fun with her. But I ' ve eugelized on her enuf, ain ' t I Smanthy? I dun ' t want you to get jealous. Miss Beard teches the dead language at this here skule. Ain ' t that a grusum sub- ject, Smanthy? The funy thing about it is that when we students here study it here very long, we are almost dead. But don ' t worrie, Smanthy, I ain ' t takin ' it. It ' s all I can do to learn other things. Ain ' t that right? There ' s a techer here Smanthy, that wears glasses, and she also has that reserved air of which you like about me. Her name is Mansfield. Every few days she gits little bouquets of dandelions and buttercups like I send yu Smanthy. When this here techer goes to a party she kin dress jest like a lil ' girl and act the part, too. She inflicts ritin ' on us here. We have a Baldwin at this here skule. Not an apple, Smanthy — a techer. I don ' t think she won anything tho, Smanthy, that ' s jest one of natures errors. I guess she teches geography and English, but don ' t know for sure. Timothy Hi Pockets. Dere Smanthy: Wal ' , I was thinkin ' as to how long it ' s bin since I wrote you last. I bin in this here city fur five weeks now, and have got acquainted with a feu more of the techers. They got a couple of pretty good cooks up here. They go by the name of Masteller and McLaughlin. I even heerd that they in- vented a new kind of meat loaf by puttin ' lemon extract in it, and a new cake by usin ' soda instead of bakin ' powder. Miss Baker is one of them Junior Hi Skule techers. I guess she has a hard t me to enforce descipline in the assemblage room. Jest when every one is hungry about noon she makes ' em all stay in on account of makin ' so much noise. Pa e sixteen

There is two more techers in this Junior Hi Skule that I ' ve seen, too. They are Miss Griebeling and Miss Manning. I don ' t know them very well, cause I always try to kep as far away from them as I can. They look wise, and they always look at me as tho they thot I had done something I hadn ' t ought ter. They got another couple of techers up in this mightie Hi Skule. They are Miss Broderick and Miss Campbell. They tech English. Miss Broderick is noted for her lauf, Smanthy. I guess she laufs somethin ' like yu do. It makes me lonesome to hear her. Miss Campbell, she ' s called a good scout. Yours till the lemon ades, Timothy. Dere Smanthy: I take my delicate instrument of hier- ogliphicating intu my f!st to rite a fu wurds tu yu. Say Smanthy, I jest wish thet yew culd see this here techer thet they call Brandt. He shur is a funny guy. He teeches the kids English (I don ' t like English, but yew couldn ' t tell the difference culd yew Smanthy.) There is a place on his face where a mustache oughter be. Brandt is awful grandillykent, but I dun ' t spose yew know what that means, never havin ' gone to Hi Skule. He used to be in the army, and he still likes a certain canteen worker he saw there, because there is always a faraway look in his eyes which causes his changeable complection. Dunn ' s the guy thet teches manual train- ing. He is purty good at hammerin ' nails and planners. He likes anuther of the techers tho, Smanthy. But I hadn ' t better tell yu her name, Smanthy, cause thet would be like tellin ' tales outa skule. There ' s wun reel little teecher here. Her name is Cook. The school kids said this techer went down to Grinnell last winter. We wud like to know what it was fur. We has our suspicions thet it was a higher mo- tive then a basket ball game. This here teecher is more of a cook now then she will be after she gits married. Mr. Metzler is ' nuther feller that I want to tell yu about. He is the Hi Skule farmer, and he teeches the country jakes that come to this skule how to farm. This teecher is a polite guy — but don ' t get excited about him, Smanthy — he ' s insured. Mr. Signs is the guy that nows such a lot about figures. I can ' t recollect what yu call ' em, but I think it ' s sum kind of keepers. But he don ' t keep anything he ' nos. He cer- tainly can talk a lot. All he duz is stuff one thing into a feller. Madammuzel Reeder is the French woman at this Hi Skule. We no two things about this techer. She has got a friend in California and she likes pink ice cream. This here techer speeks French and sometimes we kids can ' t understand her. We heerd that she goin ' to France this summer, and learn French all over again. Pa e seventeen
