THE STONEHAM HIGH SCHOOL AUTHENTIC The Great Teacher —To Mr. Charles J. Emerson (First Honor — Miss Mary Hylan) They called him a teacher Because he was one Who knew, and knowing, taught. With his fingers he drew in the sand The angles and lines of theorems Then he drew and redrew again, And forebearing guided the hand Uncertain and slow That faltering strove To follow his example. Ah! patient, so patient he was! Impartial alike to the quick and the dull, Scholarly too, and above them But still to the erring a friend. Deliberate and yet Having known youth, did not forget. And because he could see to the years beyond With eyes more experienced than theirs Along by the way in the dust Where he feared lest the turf grow sparse and thin And their footsteps pass on and be lost He fashioned the posts of his teaching. They loved him as one Whose standards were placed above stooping. And yet when unthinking They trampled his citadels down He could, even then when they asked, forgive. It mattered but little that they were not his Or still even less that the time was brief And would soon perhaps be forgotten In his mind he tried them as men As the men that he wished them to be. They called him a teacher Because he was one Who knew, and knowing taught. But in the years that followed When the span was a score and ten Though the lines he had draw n were dim And the book forgotten and worn They remembered the words he had spoken But clearest of all, they remembered him.
