THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC ' (EeacljBrs Have you ever thought about your teachers? You are a strange scholar if you haven’t for all of us have at some time or other. Probably you di- vide teachers into two groups, those that you like, and those that you don’t like. Did you ever stop to think why you liked or didn’t like a teacher? Perhaps you think that you like a cer- tain one because you can do just as you please in her classes, but do you really like and respect her, just be- cause, to use slang, she lets you, and the rest of the class, “walk all over her”. I have used the pronoun “her”, you notice, because it is seldom that a man will, if he is a man, stand for any such proceedings. Some teachers man- age their classes without any trouble at all. They treat their pupils like hu- mans and not as mere deskfillers. They manage their classes because their pu- pils love and respect them. Other teachers seemingly manage their class- es easily, but it is simply because the pupils are afraid of them. This feel- ing of fear for a teacher drives out all respect and makes it hard for the pu- pil to learn the subject which this teacher is trying to register on a pu- pil’s brain by force instead of reason. The teacher whom everyone abhors is the one who has a habit of creeping around the room, or creeping about the halls, spying on everyone whether it is his or her business to do so or not. After a while we notice a crafty, hate- ful look which is perpetually register- ed on his or her face. I think that the teacher who suspects the pupils of ev- erything from low to high crimes are people who themselves can stand watch- ing and who could not be trusted very far. The teachers whom we all love, re- spect, and in whose classes we are proud to be, are those who treat us like human beings, who are willing to help us, who never suspect or accuse with- out first finding proof, who correct our errors by showing us kindly, how and why, we are w T rong and who have some remembrance of the fact that they w-ere young and went to school once, themselves. F. E. K., 24. jSctjoxrl ;I3ags Jcrl CESsartlg Wc t Sappiest Realization of good things come when w e fail to possess them any long- er. All the members of the Senior class are drawing near such a period and most of them know it. The pleasures of school life are especially keen in the fourth year of one’s high school car- eer, and it is not without regret that we give them up. Yet the matter should not cause the concern that it does; our lives at college or as workers can be as enjoyable and as companion- able if we make them so. Thomas Bailey Aldrich doubted the statement “that school days are the happiest days,” and his school career was cer- tainly filled with good things. Let the present pleasures be enjoyed and upon leaving let all Seniors be thank- ful that they have had a happy school life; but above all should they remem- ber that life out of schoo l may be in every way as pleasurable if it is made so — and the making is up to us. “Jic ©jat fcniutreth ®n (Tltc ftth” More and more we come to realize how hard it is to endure until the very end. W(hen all the outer world is call- ing, and the sun seems to drive away all our knowledge, our minds are any- 4
