Alexander Prudence Switzer Josephine Adamy Mrs. Hazel Saltmarsh Director Treasurer Clerk Superintendent H. S. Teacher H. S. Teacher Grade Teacher Grade Teacher Early Creek School THE TEACHER For half a century, and more, The feet of boys forever wore A pathway to the teacher’s door. For fifty years he took his stand, A Latin grammar in his hand, And taught the children of the land. A general, a great divine, Yea, men whose names with luster shine, Learned Latin at that simple shrine. For often here the great began To dream, to wish, to hope, to plan; Today was bom tomorrow’s man. And so the teacher grew to gray; And fifty years have passed away When someone happens on a day To pause before the teacher’s door, The threshold that the children wore A half a century or more, And asks, as that good man appears, “Are you not weary, tired to tears, Of teaching Latin all the years?” A simple answer he employs To tell a teacher’s holy joys: “I don’t teach Latin—I teach boys.” God bless the teacher w ho can look Above, beyond, the open book, The one who teaching undertook Not merely for the Latin’s sake But for the hope chance to make Tomorrow’s man, a soul to wake; Who nothing wearies, naught annoys, Who gladly all his life employs, Not teaching Latin—teaching boys. —Douglas Malloch.
