Through the Year With the Administration Would you please be quiet? Please get rid of that gum! Start studying! How often we hear these remark. I wonder if the teachers have a nervous affliction that causes them to say these things repeatedly or, if after all, we are to blame. What do you think? Poor Mrs. Watson! She does become so angry at some Seniors who find things so comical in 6th period. Mr. Hatland’s 3rd period study hall is not too easy on him either. 1 do think Mr. O’May has an easy job! You know that all he has to do is stand up and the whole chorus is quiet. Then he gives us our notes and boy, we know the whole song! We’re really good! Miss Osborn has all the good luck. With all the cooking that goes on in her class, it’s a wonder she isn’t jut a “teeny bit” plump. Mr. LaRussa never has to worry about “his boys” getting to bed on time and eating the right foods. I hear Mr. Schock has a bad time keeping up on the wise cracks of his W orld Geography class. Poor man! I think Mr. Snider will be a happy man when he has no more “bad conduct” cases in his office. Of course, it’s nor our fault; we’re taken there by some other teacher. Miss Cully’s shorthand class was marvelous this year. We could always read so well and never said the wrong word. Never! It is a wonder Miss Dufelmeier hasn’t had a break-down. She sure had plenty of problems in helping the editors with the annual. But the senior class really helped her—we had no difficulties to solve. None!
