SCHOOL HOURS Between the nine and three-thirty bell When we go to that great place called school The first class in the morning that greets us Is English, a time when good students canit fool. The next class which we enter is Spelling Composed of large words and black type. Our teacher sometimes at us gets provoked For some students to her aren't polite. The whispering turns into silence W'hen the spelling room door opens wide, Mr. Murphy walks carelessly inward And by noiseless students he's eyed. A sudden rush for the stairway Ends each period throughout the day, With crowding and rushing down the hallways Hastens each one on his Way. I have these scenes fast in my memory, Which from me shall never depart, With the hardships of school in their dungeons And each teacher and class in my heart. M-Dora Gibson, '29.
