From my wonderful mother-in-law's yearbook, _GARGOYLE_ 1959:
Apologue from a Pedagogue
A teacher's life is fulled with troubles
Squirt guns, spitballs, gum that bubbles
Whispers, notes, and comic books,
Apple-polishers, dirty looks,
Spring with its resultant fever,
Earnest workers, gay deceivers,
Homework papers overdue,
Recitations and review,
Grades, with the complaints they bring
Bells that regularly ring;
Youth that always keeps its bloom,
Laughter filling up the room.
And tho I speak with indiscretion–-
I'm glad I chose this mad profession!
