Miss Porter teaches typing and Gregg Shorthand too She ' s a conscientious teacher, yet she ' s human thru and thru. She tries to keep us going but she helps us when we fall When it comes to rating teachers she ' s the “bestest of them all. Now Miss Maloy can wield a saw In the department where her word is law. The boys all say she wo ks like a Turk, And they highly praise her handiwork. Here ' s to Miss Adams who does her part, In the teaching of Commercial art. She does her best to keep us straight And in business forms she’s up-to-date. Miss Morris with her p ' s and q ' s, And x y z ' s and l ' s and 2 ' s, Teaches Algebra with painstaking care. Toward all she is just, fair and square. Now Miss Jacobs with her General Science At all poor Freshies hurls defiance. She tells them why a boat has sails And why bad men are put in jails. Sociology is the name That to Miss Nock has brought much fame. There is no problem of the race But what she’s taught us how to face. Miss Sexton believes in air clean and pure. Her hobby is the Fresh Air Cure. She teaches English every day, But still finds time for out-door play. In Room 5 around the corner, Physics is taught by Mr. Garner. He expounds his text like a Henry Clay, But now I ' ll close for I ' ve “sed me say. G. JONES. 15

FACULTY POEM Dear teachers of Wicomico High, We dedicate this poem to you, So you won ' t forget as the years roll by The Senior Class of ’22. Of course Mr. Cordrey takes the first seat For in American History, he can’t be beat. Even the study hall obeys his will When he raps on his desk, and says, “Peace, be still.” Did you know Miss Bloxom could parlez-vous With a french fried potato or an oyster stew? In French and Latin, no one is wiser Than Miss Lois Bloxom, our class advisor. Whether it’s blowing or whether it’s snowing Miss Ruth can keep the lunch room going. With her strong will power and strict rat law When she issues an order, we dassn’t say, “Naw.” Now Miss Wilson whom you all know Is always ready and on the go, She teaches history with all her might, And dances almost every night. Mr. Schwartz is an English teacher Who gestures and talks like a Methodist preacher. He teaches all who come his way Just how to write and what to say. In Chemistry and chemicals, Miss Chapman takes delight, She studies science all the day and dreams of it at night; The secrets of the ocean and the secrets of the land Are held, by her great knowledge, in the hollow of her hand. Now Miss Killiam though her name sounds cruel, Is one of the best teachers in this school. She teaches Geometry and also Trig. Which proves, you see, that her brain is big. As you all know, without a doubt, Mrs. Pope puts poor English to rout. When she draws near, why then you see The murderers of the King’s English flee. If you want to know what the Freshies do, Ask Miss Lankford in Room 2. She’s civilizing ’em by keeping ’em quiet And feeding ’em on a Latin diet. And there’s Miss Sheek, who’s lost her heart To drawing and painting and all kinds of art. Neither a winter’s snow nor a sunset sky Ever escapes her artistic eye. 14
