20 THE TATLER—1926 Faculty Poem When I began to compose this poem, I had something on which to write, ’Tis true I had no theme or plot, And no hero or heroine in sight. But the faculty of Wicomico High Where for four years we have striven, Is what this poem is all about, And to them our thanks are given. For whatever we do in the coming years, And what we gain on the road to success, Over rocks of trouble and hills of despair We owe to the teachers of W. H. S. First on our list is Mi 1 . Cordrey, Our Principal, esteemed by all. It is he, who has guided us safely, Through difficulties great and small. He teaches us Social Civics, A study not liked by some, But those who take up politics May owe it to him for their political run. Mr. Wheeler, the friend of us all, Teaches Physics, a study so hard, He always has charge of attendance slips, And for late students, is always on guard. Frenchy little Miss Taylor Is one of our new teachers this year, She has wound herself around our hearts, And we love her, for she is most dear. We often wonder how in the world Miss Lankford keeps in her head The names and whereabouts of the library books, “ ’Tis a broad mind,” I’ve heard it said.
