Edith T. Bannister was a first and second grad teacher at Samuel G. Davis School. She was one of those dedicated teachers of the type necessary to teach Mashpee kids. She had many aphorisms and words of wit for us. One comes to mind:
“Fool’s names and fool’s faces
always appear in public places.”
What the reader should take away from this is: If you object to your name or face being displayed on this page, then your best course is to not be a fool. Free yourself from the corruption and destructive behavior that has taken hold of our Tribe like the talons of a predatory bird. Smarten up. The gravy train is about to go off the track.
Word to the wise.
