Breathes here a senior of Portland High Who never to himself did sigh This is my school-a swell place-yet It has one trait which I regret. Its teachers are so awfully smart That I'm discouraged from the start! Now if they weren' t so wise.and stern QWhere my homework is concerned! ,Twould be ideal not nuttin to lem No tests in poetry or English lit., No gems from Hamlet to remember, No conjugating of French verbs, fNor Latin for that matter! No squaring roots, cubing angles Memorizing tan and cos Because there simply is no point In doing this, you know! Often when that still small voice, Which we' re not supposed to heed Said, concentrate on softball That's more your speed Or She's giving a pajama party. That's a date to keep Many of Us listened-now we weep! I repeat at this point-Our teachers are good! Knowing different ones best, we like dilferent ones most Admiring all unanimously-we now propose a toast We've always found them capable, confident, clever We leave them with sincere regrets But forget them! Never! MIGNONETTE MARSH '49 I 14 I
