15. LAMENT OF THE BUBBLER: a doggerel by Buz Spooner, Principal, Greenacres Elementary

 File — Box: 1
Identifier: 1

Scope and Contents

Not everyone, in fact most students, did not enjoy "filling in the answer-bubbles" on the Lindquist Iowa Tests of Basic Skills battery of tests. Apparently, Mr. Spooner sensed this frustration amongst his students, and wrote this witty and humorous poem. Although the enclosed copy is not dates, I believe it began to circulate in the 1960's, and no doubt has withstood the test of time!
