THE KERNEL June, 1929 THE TEMPERAMENTAL THIR TEEN When we have gone the way of all flesh, memories of the Terrible, Tem- pestuous, Torrid, Toiling, Temper- amental Thirteen will appear before us, the reminiscence of high school days. It can’t be an unlucky thirteen any- way, for right at the head of the fac- ulty is Mr. McMullen. The best of sports and the jolliest of all good fel- lows. “Mac” always has the latest joke, and for general information— well, just ask him. And there is Leib! He doesn’t tower in height, but neither did Napoleon, and these two have much in common— leadership, force, and personality. A better chaperon for the Washington trip absolutely could not be found. Just who doesn’t like Math? And why shouldn’t they, with Mr. Thomp- son instructing it? He is full of clever ideas, the best being his new and suc- cessful plan of teaching without text- books. And besides coaching students for success, he also coaches athletic teams and Senior plays. We like Mr. Grim in a Big Way. He’s jolly, clever and such an imper- sonator! Have you ever seen Grim as “The Orchestra Leader?” He is keen. Miss Koch likes English; at least, she is leaving 0. H. S. to study some more of it—“way out in Ohio”— “round on the ends and “hi” in the middle”—but somehow we feel that Oxford will not be forgotten. One can never tell what a summer will bring forth! And her favorite flower is a mushroom. Miss McCrae! Miss McCrae! We re- peat it, because we like to, and because we like her. Her very name brings up delighted (?) visions of Latin, French, and—ever, yea, ever—“Quiet Class, now quiet!” It is the password and means our routine will seem only too quiet without this petite Madamoiselle. Everybody gives Mrs. Featherman a great big hand! We can only repeat what is said of her. Everyone likes her, everyone respects and loves to joke with her. We Seniors bow to her excellent coaching of our play. She is our weakness and who would think of the song “Where the shy little Violets grow” in connection with this favor- ite? Oxford High Loses! And this time, it is quite serious, because the loss is Mrs. Hayes Brown. .Mrs. Brown has i een the most capable instructor and coach of girls' athletics. We feel that hnr place will be hard to fill. Miss Kreiser came to us this year— and what a friend! Just ask the Fresh- man Latin Class or any Junior High English student. She is so very witty that we all took an instant liking to her. And can the little lady dance? Oui! Oui! Both Garretts and garnets are very precious to us. And Miss Garrett is the most precious' She puts music in the air and quite an individual air to our music. To say that she is successful :'i only a mild tribute to this teacher, who, honestly, would like to see us in “Sing-Sing”. Is there a time when Mr. Burt is not working in the laboratory, toiling faithfully over some scientific find? And when are not a dozen awe-struck Preps following him, hopeful of shar- ing some ingenious glory of science. Mrs. Ilartzler (nee Cooper), the best of Home Economic teachers, decided last Easter to put into practice what she preaches and be domesticated. Again, another’s gain is the students’ loss, but anyway—we wish you the best of luck in the new home at the Gap. The Blonde Goddess! We salute Miss Scothorne! She is the best reason for taking Art—here or anywhere. Com- bining humor, good fellowship, under- standing and “it” into one teacher was a good job, I mean. And now, we find that those adjec- tives preceding thirteen were untruth- ful. They aren’t terrible, they aren’t temperamental! They’re just Great! And we owe to them our backing for life, the greatest foundation. So with adieus, we’ll leave them to become more endeared by memory’s gentle touch!—ANNE AND STRICK, ’29 7
