Nostris De Magistris (With apologies to the rules of poetry!) .4 3 •0srv «• ■v n % Before we leave dear Weaver High behind, Our teachers ' eccentricities let ' s find. In days to come, we shall most likely reflect On those who once commanded our loyal respect. To Mr. Burke, we extend congratulation First time principal at our graduation. Miss Talcott ' s charm and pleasing grace, Have won in our hearts a lasting place. Mr. Carrier, always ready to make a pun, Mixed our geometry with lots of fun. Miss Harper ' s Latin rules will never fail Through Latin Literature to blaze a trail. In Mr. Maines ' class, his dry humor and wit With all his, chem students have made, a great hit. Few fail to obey at Miss Craig ' s-command She rules her class with a resolute hand. Kind ' ,Mr. Crowell has been our critic keen ; x And showed us things we ne ' er before had seen. In class, Miss Hood often showed us the light, And also for Girls ' League she stayed many a night. Mr. ' Dow, who shows us the constellations, Deserves our loyal praise and admirations. We come to Room 301 every day, Where kind Miss Phillips teaches us francais. From Mr. Walch we learned machines and such, Who often willingly has helped us much. . « Petite Miss Hartin, very witty and droll, Would make beyond a doubt a cute French doll. Mr. Kazarian, though now quite new, Has shown us many things that he can do. Miss Hogan cleared traffic as much as she could; , In Weaver ' s halls, as policeman she has stood. Mr. Gipson ' s friendly grin and smile Have made us grow to like him all the while. Miss Conklin ' s mild sarcasm and exclamations Have often burst forth at our wretched translations. Mr. Parks, deluxe sportsman of our faculty men, Catches fish singly and by groups of ten. Last, but not least, Miss Moses we see As the real tomboy of our faculty. Now as seniors, ready to depart, We fondly say goodbye with all our heart. [ 14 ]
