4 i ,..i,,.-......1 They Were Young Once--Our Teachers! ,,uBAR,.mAW,.LT Once upon ia time 29 little boys and girls went to school to learn their reading, 'riting, and 'rith- metic. Oh, they were such good little students. Misses Newton, Shockey, and Crouch tried to con- vince their teachers that Maint was correct. Miss- es Lynn, Bays, Cobb, and Masters Oppy and De- vore tried to prove by algebra that 2 plus .2 equals 5. The geography teacher was almost convinced by Misses Holman, Mickey, Clark, and Mrs. Carter that the earth was square. Mrs. Bingle and Miss Kirkhuff were often found in Nursie Glover's play office bandaging burnt and bloody finger tips. Miss Carpenter and Mr. Mountain spent their time playing chopsticks on her piano and his violin. In the farthest corner of the 29 student school were Artie Hall and Ed Schrag pounding and sawing. In another were Don Milliken and Mrs. Oyer cutting up bugs and try- ing to blow up the school. Miss Foster and Mr. Suran were Working off energy by running around in warm-up suits. One quiet little girl Miss Halj was always lending her books to talkative Miss Vinson. Misses Jacques and Markley would not learn to write so they made chicken tracks on their tablets. To be different Misses Larner and Dey learned to speak Spanish and Latin. Two other little boys, Masters Lessig and Kissick, just sat at big desks and had Misses Cannon and Coving- ton get their lessons for them. Any resemblances between these students and the present faculty is purely coincidental.
