Mr. Morgan is the techer whot teches the kids about hearts and circulation ' n ev- erything. Us kids here calls him the Bugo- ologie techer. This here techer has got a hard hart and a bald head. We thinks his heart is hard cause he is awful mean to the poor little kids what don ' t have time fur to study their lessons, and so they has to stay in the eighth period. Madammuzel Reeder is his first lieutenant about the eighth period dope. Yours till the moon comes up, Timothy. Dere Smanthy: Havin ' nothin ' better to do, I take tools in hand again to rite yew. I ' m sorri your paw is feelin ' worse and hope he ' s about the same now. Mr. Hogel, he ' s a funny fella. He teches fizicks — I ain ' t takin ' it tho Smanthy. But I guess he ' s a purty good techer. iHe ' s not much of a talker in public, but I ' ve heerd say that when he ' s in a class room with the door shut he can beat Patrick Henry when he comes to talkin ' (you know who Patrick was, Smanthy. ) I saw an old sooter of yur ' s yesterday, Smanthy. He ' s thet little bowlegged feller what they called Davis. He wuz runnin ' around after ' nuther fello who was dressed in a flour sack, and tellin ' him to get a little pepper. I couldn ' t understand what it all meant, and I don ' t ' spose yu do. I wisht you knew all these here techers Smanthy. They ' re a awful funnie bunch. T ' other day I wuz walkin ' along in the base- ment of this here Hi Skule and I heerd a commotion in the gim. I looked in and I seen Miss Smith (she ' s our swell gim teecher) runnin ' Misses Gardner and Kelly round and round. Then she sez, Halt! iRight face! Right dress! An ' then this here angle techer she says, this ' s my rite face, and Mrs. Gardner says, This is my rite dress. And Miss Smith she fell over on the floor moanin ' somethin ' about no brain, no brain. or somethin ' . It was kinda bewilderin, Smanthy. We have a Furniss up here tew, which is a high tone name fur a stove which heats a whole house at the same time, by hot air. When we buy our hous-keepin ' tools after I gradyate we won ' t by no Furniss, Smanthy. Miss Stewart, she ' s nuther one of what they call the fakulty. She teeches kids tew play the drum in Spanish and such like. She ' s got a purty good way of beatin ' the skule board (which is ' nt nothin ' like the board yew think I mean) out of some money. She makes all the pore kids pay a penny for every word they sey in English; which is a purty good way of grafting, ' She claims she ' s teeches ' em Spanish thataway, but they can ' t fool me, Smanthy. Well, I must clothes, and rite to a lot uf other girls, ' O reservoir (that what Madummuzelle Reeder says), Timothy. Pa e eighteen

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
