Professor OLSON. In methods of teaching, an expert, As all who know him will assert, In presentation, most specific, In new ideas most prolific, In class time ho is most terrific If pupils unprepared should be On facts concerning stars, land, or sea. Miss JACKMAN. Only in the Gym Her voice doth ring In accents clear. She comes right near With us to chat, And ever hath A kindly smile Cares to beguile. Professor SECHRIST. A calm, chaste scholar of poetic mind, Who goodness, truth and beauty in life does find, Who teaches us in poetry to feel A love for nature, art, and high ideal. Miss HODGE. So merry, light-hearted and free, This dainty maid of high degree. Smiles on her lips, songs in her heart, She sheds good cheer from dawn to dark. No wonder the D. S. all say They love her more and more each day. With wisdom and wiles she teaches the art Of cooking---------the way to man's heart. MRS. BRIDGE. Treble clef and chorus, too. Try her patience Earnest work and skill so true. But that wretched chorus One sweet comfort brings, When in perfect harmony It “The Pig Tail” sings. Miss LEE. Teaching little hands to do Pretty things and useful, too. Teaching little feet to go In rhythmic step, soft and low. Teaching little hearts to feel Others’ sorrows, others' weal. 15

Professor CULVER. None know him but to love him, With kindness all hearts he does win; His tests are a terror and fright, And cause many a sleepless night To poor students; but all the same, If any fail, him ne’er they blame. Miss gray. Fraulein Gray, so German students say, Smooths ditliculties from their way. With maxims gleaned from German lore, Builds up their character more and more. Though fraught with ills and many nerves, From duty’s path she never swerves. Professor COLLINS. Mathematics is no fun, Work and work and never done. Props, in Al. Geora. arid Trig. Make us dig and dig and dig. But Collins, that most witty man, Cheers us as no other can. Professor HYER. Observation and reviews, Institutes at certain dates, Do not give him time for “blues,” For they work him, early, late. Manual training is his forte, Teaching boys and girls to create Models in wood-craft of every sort. MISS HATHERELL. Bugs, beetles, birds, Snakes, spiders, ilies, Weeds, flowers, herbs, Attract her eyes. All Nature to her so dear, To us she makes full clear. Professor SANFORD. Upon the third floor, away from the noise Of busy working girls and boys, Professor Sanford holds his sway, And keeps students working thru night and day. 14

Miss coggeshall. A lady so stately and tall, With a swish! swish! sounding thru hall, Announces her coining ere seen. No trille escapes her eye so keen. Poor practice teachers tremble oft Before learning to know and love One endowed with kindness from above. Professor BACON. For thoughts and expressions “perse,” On “Grandpa’’ call in 323. In discussing new propagand-er, Most eloquent doth he expand er. At recaptions and spreads, we mark. He’s ever ready for a good lark. Miss PEAKE. Modest and meek, She scarce doth speak. With love bedight And room so bright, Our hearts she wins, And pleasure brings. Professor TALBERT. “Tally” thinks it is a sin Smiles from pretty girls to win, Works them hard in garden-making. Planting, weeding, also raking. Lean of frame and large of heart. Well in school he acts his part Miss GRADY. She twirls the string of golden beads That round her n«x-k is hung. As Irish jokes and anecdotes Fall glibly from her tongue, in teaching painting, drawing, art, Didactics ever form a part. Miss GILFILLAN. Sweet, serene and gentle—some scarce know her name. Students of Latin and German proclaim She, translating makes easy, constructions the same. Lovingly, silently working, her one desire To make others happier, better, higher. MISS COMSTOCK. Pleasant and sweet, with eyes so brown, A smile from her smooths out a frown. Full of consideration mild, For every practice teacher and child. id
