And we pupils were hurrying on
our way,
To school to see what we could
see,
We wondered who the teacher
might be.
Would he be short or tail
Would he be 'big or small?
But most of all we feared he'd
be cross,
So we wondered would we or he
be boss!
He was none of these,
He was just himself;
He would try to please
If we behaved "ourself".
Sometimes he'd look at us and
frown,
We were a bad bunch,
But he settled us down
with his pleasing manner,
His pleasant smile,
Soon for him we'd go the second
mile.
Soon we were eating right out
of his hand,
We were the best pupils in the
whole land.
In grammar and math this teach-
er excelled,
Very shortly we, too, could do
these right well;
His wonderful stories we'll never
forget,
They were the best in the world,
I'll bet.
In the forties our entrance we,
tried,
And his pupils were tops, you
surely spied;
In high school, too, they edged
the top,
And some even conquered the
first spot.
Ile worked hard, 'his pupils to
drill,
And his labors never rewarded
him ill
So through the years he accom-
plished much,
In many fields and all are such,
They need good mention for all
to hear
To those who hold him, their
teacher dear.
At Christmas time a concert we
had,
And everyone went home feeling
glad.
Many years ago we used to make
chairs,
Then in `1948" Mr. Fowler in
-
traduced the School Fair;
It was a success, as we all know,
For people far and wide would
go;
Every year it was better and
bigger
And proceeds were more than
we had figured.
Now what shall we do when he
is gone?
I hope we can still carry it on.
We're losing a man who has
helped us more
Than anyone else we Irnow.
We wish him success in his fu-
ture days,
We know he'll succeed, for his
winning ways,
Mr. Fowler, we want you to
know
That we hate to see you go;
We wish you every success,
And heaps of happiness.
To show our gratitude to you,
For services present and past,
We have a token of our esteem,
We'll hope you accept it, though
small it may seem,
And when you're in Logan, it's
only a hope
To come to see your friends in
McKillop.
—Signed on behalf of your
pupils and the ratepayers of
S.S, No. 6, McKillop.
