1922 THE N1XON1A Faculty Poem This is our faculty of twenty-two Whom wc are proud to present to you. Relow you’ll find a sketch of each, Their traits and all the things they teach. Mr. Rumble, first, you’ll see. He heads the list of our faculty. Notice his eyes, see how they show The many things this man does know! He knows all alxnit friction, and all alxnit diction. He can tell of the squirrels, he knows geometric whirls. He knows balance sheets and typewriter l cats. That a man of his goodness should l»e so wise And lie so admired is no surprise. Next Mr. Jordan, whom you've all heard alxiut, Rememlx?r that game where you just had to shout? That five minutes after the exciting tie— We carried home the prize and hung it up high? And we cheered our Ixiys who had brought it in. Rut we didn’t forget who had coached them to win. Twas this young man. on whom you may depend For history and science and a trustworthy friend. Miss Galaway, the one with the laughing eyes. In mathematics is indeed wondrous wise. And that isn’t all that she can do. She can make splendid sj eeches if you just ask her to. And if you want a chaperon or some friendly advice She can help you there, too. She’s awfully nice! She knows all alxnit Solomon. Saul and Ebenezer. Rut lx?st of all men she understands Caesar. Mrs. Thompson, the French looking lady you see. Isn’t really Trench though she speaks it fluently. And when alxnit English you are in doubt.---- Just go to her and she’ll Ik glad to help out. She’s clever, she’s witty, and we all think she knows The English Ixxiks from beginning to close. 'The French and Dramatic Clubs started this year Are examples of the interest she has taken here. And now that we’ve named them over to you. We’re sure that you like them as well as we do. And will join with us and glorify The twenty-two faculty of Nixon High. Opal Gray, '21. Page S
