M’s for MacDonald; tall, slim, with red hair, He's boss of the shop—his word’s law down there. He's also the owner of a small city farm, Where he claims to raise plants as long as your arm. P is for Prescott, as sweet as you'll find. She's pretty and quiet and never unkind. Freshmen and soph'mores often drive people crazy, But she comes through it all, mind not even hazy. R is for Ray, our chemistry cook, He teaches his class out of many a book That tells just how to make a grand smell From sulphuric acid and HCL. S is for Spencer; we call him Bob, As caretaker here, he's right on the job. He knows many things 'bout the kids here at school, 'Bout the Key, many secrets, and breeches «f rule. W's for Wally, a different man From the boss of the school, who'll your breeches tan. He likes to ride donkeys, shoot baskets, and such And once he even hobbled 'round on a crutch. P. S. We have tried here to catalogue Faults and virtues of pedagogues. To all who read, v:e want you to know, That although some of them have to go, The school would come much more to the fore If all of them stayed forevermore. B. N. N.

FACULTY FAILINGS AND FOOLINGS A's for Alvenia and Alvilda, too, (I can't ever remember just which is who). They're both good members of the faculty tribe, But students can neither with apples bribe. B's for the boss, our Wallace McCrae, Students, you’d better not go astray, (At least within sight of his eagle eye) Or he will all your pleasures deny. C is for coach or Miss Connell] Neither arrives until after the bell. Both claim it's the school clock that's wrong. Of course, that's an alibij it's sleep they prolong. E's for Elizabeth, and you she beguiles When she greets you each morning rath wide pleasant smiles. She teaches typing and law and geography] If you don't have your lesson, it's a catastrophe. F is for Freda, known here as Miss Beck, If you want something printed, she's right on deck. She worries and frets about her publications] Often, she and her staff even go without rations. G is for George, an attractive gal. She's one in a million and always a pal. Decides right away just what is so, And Clever wavers betvjeen Yes and No . Harold's the name of our fisherman] He claims to fish better'n anyone can. Don't believe all you hear 'bout the length of his fish, I'm afraid 'tisn't true, but only a wish. J is for Jane, she was just like it sounds, A practical pedagogue full of knowledge profound. One day without 'earning, we were left in the lurch, When she went middle-aisling it down at the church. L is for Leslie, Clem to you. He'll sneak up on two in a rendezvous And snap a picture, quicker'n a wink, Which makes them both blink and often turn pink.
