SENIOR CORNER
tBy Gertrude Fischer and
Wayna powalh

tBy t'ertrude Fischer and
Wayne Powell)
We love our teachers, oh so much,
We are good as good as good can be,
We never whisper, sass, or suck
How nnkinkly that would be.
There are teachers of all kinds
in this old world, and they are good,
pad and indifferent. We like to
think we have the best teachers.
The Freshmen may think the teachers
abuse them numerically but by the
time they have been through four
years OF high school life with its
sorrows and joys. they will under
stand The attitude of teachers to-
ward Freshmen in general.
The sad and pathetic dignity of
the Seniors so touches the hearts
of the teachers that they are moved
to compassion. Therefore the Sem
lers are given fuller privileges, and
more opportunities to enjoy them
selves and torment the teacher upon
whom they may have pick"
In return for. this unwonted dis
play of thoughtfulness on the part
Of the teachers, the Seniors return
their love fourfold. The Seniors do
not knowingly criticise or mock their
protectors. With this brief sketch
brought before the public we hope
to see a still better feeling between
the illustrious Seniors and their
teachers.
Now when you lower classmen
read this article. we know you will
say, Poor little Seniors must hang
Gnto teachers skirt" That's all
right. That is just the precise state
ment we wish you to make. but don't
ever dare to assert your ability to
look after yourselves of you are able
TO paddle your own canoe, Why
did you chose a faculty advisor?
