 Wer lehrt uns taglioh in deni Deutsch t'nd macht uns klug und niaclit uns weis’. Cud ubersieht den “Deutschen Kreis? ' lien Dresden! Wer an die Normal sicli begiebt, I'nd Hilfe uns in allcun giebt. I'nd wird dadurch von all’ll geliebt? Herr Dresden! A patient, frank and pleasant man. Who dwells on the topmost floor Along frogs, and hugs, and creepy things. And pictures and plates hv the score; Whose words have much of the savor of Maine And whose voice doth much of music contain. In our Normal School there’s a famous preacher On “Hints in Geography” for the teacher, lie has faith in the “kids” and would do them no harm, But he scorns the old methods and the young “school inarm.” Loyal trusted friend, whose kindly words Touched with sweet comfort, makes bright The ways of some who sorrow here, Who by her smile and heart so light Keeps hope and courage ever near. Be she Martha, loyal to Cranford ladies, Be she deep in books profound, Be she making Grecian puzzles For Library Method’s class renowned; Be she weary, ill, or cheery. Sure no better can he found.

“the wisest man The best conditioned and unwearied spirit in doing kindnesses” and one in whom Each student finds a friend. A man of formulae, symbols, equations, Is tliis sweet singer of noblest song. A man of good deeds and noble persuasions, A lover of birds, who earliest among The school’s early risers is off and away With bis Audubon Club at the first dawn of day. Xo word, nor phrase, nor clause complete Comes lightly to my tongue, That worthy is of this lady fair, Of whom our Seniors sung. So gently firm, so kindly just, So gracious, frank and wise; 'Pbe patron saint of Senior class, Who laud her to the skies. There is a man named Clow; History and histories be does know. And when we to his classes go lie makes our standings rather low. But we never storm or rave or blow We don’t, because wo like him so. Dear is she to us all, Ibis teacher of Milton and Wordsworth; Dear to the Sophie and Fresh, whom she charms by her gracious demeanor. Adored by the jovial Juniors, who dedicate her their “Quiver,” Lauded by Seniors sagacious, honored and loved by the faculty, Patron of Browning club; ah, dear indeed, is this teacher! Page fifteen

Not “earthy” but a higher being, all lost In contemplation of great steeps, Interpreter between the stars and us, Who loves and lives the “blameless life,” And points us out the path to virtue By bis serene and Godly way. A woman of deliberation Who values truth and right And scorns things less. Who wastes no words in approbation We’ll all confess. lie’s the man who handles the chisel, And be who uses the plane; And he who down on the basement floor Continues ever to reign, While to teachers be argues his cause Till bis work seems minus all flaws. Who is sought by our Normal athlcticians ? Who is sought by our Normal and city tenniscians? Who is sought by the Freshman algebrician? Mr. Cool idge. Who is sought by his sonny, without discretion? Who is sought to sing “Joey” with great expression? Who is sought by the amateurs of the Phoenici(ons) ? Off to one side of Normal ball Ts a room which readily welcomes all. And this lady is found who reigns'supreme Over large classes, and keeps serene, Who is ever ready with repartee And often smiles at pranks or glee. “Right face—about march About march—right face!” Page seventeen
