£0 the t at lE r—i 9 $5 She teaches Geometry and does it so well, Who cares if she dresses like the daisy in the dell. Mr. Carroll, our Chemist, with demeanor so placid, May teach, but is not touched with the sting of the acid. Mr. Gardner, whose auto won’t run when its raining, Is just the Cats’ Whiskers in Manual Training. He is decidedly popular with the ambitious boys Who are merging into manhood and done with their toys. Miss Phillips and Miss Straughn are as busy as bees. Correcting our papers and giving us “C’s”. They’re bookkeeping and typewriting experts, And even when we think of it, our tired brain hurts. Every one of us holds in the highest esteem, Miss Winnie Phillips, who’s like a girl of sixteen. Miss Alma Lankford, now what can be said, And where did she learn all that’s stored in her head? Her fertile brain’s filled with odd little nooks, And knowledge surpassing any we find in the books. Here’s our respects to Miss Porter, our beloved advisor For we never, we never could have chosen one wiser. For the help she has given in her own sweet way. She’s enshrined in our hearts forever and a day. Then there’s Mrs. Cissel, the last on the list, A teacher to be loved, remembered and missed. And now, dear faculty, that our schooldays are done, And the world is before us and success to be won,

THE T AT L E R—‘1 9 2 5 19 Now don’t think for a moment we’re overlooking Miss Nock, She’s a teacher par-excellence, and firm as a rock. Her watchful eyes quiets the sophomore terrors, While she doctors our spelling and grammatical errors. Mr. Duffy (must be Irish) the Athlete of Washington College, Came down with a store of wonderful knowledge, And taught us our Civics and explained Federal Banks, And a great deal besides, for which we extend thanks. Behind the big oaken desk reigns Miss Holliday, A teacher of teachers in her own quiet way. With blue eyes that sparkle and a wealth of pretty curls, No wonder she is the idol of the boys and the girls. But woe to the Freshman with his little sing, song Who reported ‘ ' unprepared” to capable Miss Long. No reflections, of course, Miss Long is very sweet, An excellent teacher and a splendid athlete. Miss Fisher and Miss Davis might be classed as petite, Full of frolic and fun but always discreet. From a host of good teachers you can’t pick the best, But Miss Parker and Miss Messick need not fear the test. They’re experts at sewing, and their sha- e of good looks, Will make them attractive as wives or plain cooks. The worth of Miss Dryden; and she is a p ize, Is not to be compared with the Lady in size. Miss Killiam, we love her, and its not fair to tease, But the Lilies and King Solomon, be quiet, please.

THE TATLER—19 25 To you who have labored and so patiently wrought, For your counsel and guidance, for all you have taught; Think not we’ll forget thru the length of the years, For the loudest in laughter are the closest of tears. MARIA NELSON UNDERHILL.
