ABOUT OUR TEACHERS It doesn't take one long to discover the pet modes of expressions of one's teachers. Each seems to possess some individual phrase that acquires a hidden meaning for the pupils, (i. e. us ), as the frequency of its usage multiplies. We are including a few impromptu examples, here, to put across what we mean. For instance, don't we all know that Mr. McCullough is in a playful frame of mind when he calls us all his dear friends and fellow townsmen”? Of course we do. to say nothing of his pensive, extensive, uncomprehensive vocabulary, which we have, in vain, tried to curb. Sometimes (oftentimes) we are feeling quite kittenish ourselves and then what does Miss Shidaker say? You’re right. She says. Let's be quiet, please, in that persuasive tone of voice that makes us all as calm as little lambs. No one has ever failed to catch the forceful meaning of Mr. Myer's, Oh. is that so? when he uses it in relation to some questionable fact given him about hydrochloric acid, or any other acid for that matter. And how submissive and sheepish we feel when Miss Hoffman shames us thoroughly with three effective words, Don't be childish. But we never know what to expect when Miss Schultz says, It's all according to the mood I’m in. Nevertheless we're ready to expect something. Could anyone mistake the fact that it's time to be quiet when Miss Kile says. Let's sit down now, the bell rang two minutes ago ? And we are all ready for a bombardment of praise and laudation when Miss Heyman begins, Now my basketball girls— and so forth or what have you. The bravest of us would not dare to dispute Mr. Larkin, when at the suspicion of a giggle he inquires defiantly, Well, what’s wrong with that? Mr. Cavins is a practical person and times too numerous to mention he has burst out enlightening us that this or that is good for all practical purposes. The immediate response that Miss Long receives when she says, You'd think you'd be growing older instead of younger. is truly remarkable. Of course Mr. Jackson trusts us and everything .but anyone is entitled to a little doubt. He takes his share when he announces impersonally, just before a geometry quiz, Get a piece of paper and see that it's blank on both sides. And now some killjoy will be sure to spoil the effect of this anthology on teacher idiosyncrasies by inquiring, Well, what about Mr. Jones? Isn't it enough that we shush the question by answering that his method excells them all. We call it cryptic silence. MARGARET MECHEM. Page ten
