The Faculty in Rhyme We’ve put our heads together To see what we could do, To elevate ( ?) the Annual Before it got to you. And so we have collected From many friends at W est Their favorite expression— The one that they like best. So first, our wise Professor Makes tardiness his theme: All hands at work at 8:15. Is his Klysian dream. “Tres bien. Miss lliscock utters. When work is well prepared. To parley-vous is not so hard When to try it. you have dared. ()ne teacher’s full of feeling. At the slightest flunk, she cries. “Too bad! W’e're very sorry, but— “Lacks study, I surmise.” Please let us not communicate. Miss Raddiffe always said. But now since she is married. It’s something else to Hd [monds]. Sir Lobb! he is not fond of The chattering girls of West. “You make more noise than a hundred boys, He often does protest. In thirteen, there's a teacher. Who. after every “spiel.” Does anyone think differently? Is her polite appeal. In F.nglish Lit., this maxim Must never be forgot. To bring your Manivs every day.” Is the poor Senior’s lot. One teacher thinks it's dreadful To sit when you recite. Stasis! statim stasis! She cries with all her might. These rhymes are very simple And twill not be hard to say Who are the ones in question. For you hear them every day. Genevieve Tax berg and Carolyn Wallace. AVwi

The Debate Team 1912 Champions Kgge Chapman Burnell m % TEST HIGH won the city Championship in debate, hive victories witli-out a defeat is a record to he proud of. Duluth Central and all the T city high schools were met in debate. In no small measure, Edwin Chapman—captain of the team—was responsible for this success. Possessed of rare judgment; combined with a happy faculty of harmonious team work: he never failed in the forcible presentation of argument or the management of the team. Walter Egge and Oliver Buswell worked in perfect accord to present a uniform issue in each debate.- To Eggc l elongs the credit of a careful study of postal conditions, while Buswell consistently hammered his argument of principle. The January Commencement deprived the team of the able opposition of Frederick Hannah—but Martin Kalton and Donald Timmerman consistently aided in the much needed rebuttal work. The faithful interest in the business management shown by Donald Timmerman was indeed commendable. The successful season just closed should encourage West High in a greater interest in this highly beneficial form of school activities: and with Oliver Bus-well as an experienced debater, every effort should he put forth to produce in 1913 another team like the victorious Chapman, Eggc. Buswell. Albert I. Lobb. Ten
