RUTH POWELL SPENCE, B. S. French lS'n1n1'1r!11'1'1' ll' lwirrf is fflillill l,. Jarultg Harm There's a teacher of English, Cournyer Who's so gentle there's no need to fear, But list gentle reader, When she talks, better heed her Or someone will get a tin ear. This in memory of jolly Coach Hoyt, Whose work creates fierce appetite, He's one lucky guy, And I'll tell you why- She's an expert in cooking, all right. There's- a O. Science teacher named Bartley Who maketh of cooking an art flyjg Excuse me this time, Had to make this thing rhyme- But she's there with the goods, is Miss Bartley. There's a book-keeping teacher named Dill, Who gives to us many a pillg But you'll find if you mind her, And stay close behind her, She'll land you on top of the hill. There's a teacher named Miss Spence, Who gives us lessons in French, Tho we'rel still up a tree, We've learned to say Oni, Now isn't that simply immense? H Do tell us, now, dear Mrs. Parry, Before us 'neath pot-hooks you bury These outlandish batches Of crazy hen-scratches, Why need they go always contrary? Miss Garside now we approach, Whose soft job is history coach, I wouldn't wonder When some of us blunder, She thinks we've the brains of a roach We sing to you, dear Mistress Myrtle, Who struggleth with brains all unfertlle, What you cram 'neath our lids, How to teach the dear kids, I wonder your brain doesn't turn turtle To Miss Musick- Translations so vague and so deep, We see them e'en when we're asleep, Oh, de profundis, Sure Cicero stunned us- But Virgil compels us to weep. There's Newcomer, mighty good fella, He's head of the works, and I tell ya Don't get too joyful Or you'll get an eye full, 'Twill be a small slip, color, yella. Wearily ensconced in my bower, The study hall, yea, by the hour: A penny doth Hip, Oh, my what a slip! Be still, my heart, here cometh Flower' So endeth this collaboration Of personal characterizationg Any left out Will feel slighted, no doubt, But we're fearful of mind-abbreviati -.12- OD
