In literature, the occurrence of a single speaker saying something to a silent audience. Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" is an example wherein the duke, speaking to a no-responding representative of the family of a prospective new duchess, reveals not only the reasons for his disapproval of the behavior of his former duchess, but aspects of his own personality as well.

 * //GHOSTS OF ISNU//**

Where were Henry, Elizabeth, and Flora The historian, the supporter, and the secretary? All, all were working at ISNU.

One taught up to nine subjects, One graduated in the first class, One survived simplified spelling, but All, all were working, working, working at ISNU.

Where were Mary, Angeline, and Carter The snappy instructor, the first librarian, and the beloved custodian? All, all were working at ISNU.

One taught more than math, the value of doing things right; One would help as long as you did not wait until the last night; One would offer counsel and cleanliness to all persons, and All, all were working, working, working at ISNU.

Where were June, Edwin, and Jesse, The feminist, the president, and the grounded one? All, all were working at ISNU.

One fought for the vote, One facilitated the growth, One pushed for his desire while maintain his ethics, yet All, all were working, working, working at ISNU.

And where, where was Edwin M. Bakewell, Who donated the land we learn on today? He fought for it back until his very last breath (He wanted an agricultural school instead) But what Edwin could not see, Is what the school would eventually be: A haven for those who share a passion for learning.

Where were McCormick, Christian, and Dodge, The geography teacher, valedictorian, the secretary? All, all, were shaping ISNU.

One passed of poor health, One of old age, One in her sleep, All, all were shaping, shaping, shaping ISNU.

Where were Hartmann, Milner, and Harris. The math teacher, the Librarian, the custodian? All, all, were shaping ISNU. One died from an automobile, One from an illness, One died in a store, All, all were shaping, shaping, shaping ISNU.

Where were Colby, Hewett, and Fell, The feminist, the president, the lawyer? All, all were shaping ISNU.

All of who were expected to work, But they worked beyond expectations, They achieved beyond what they were given Making ISNU the great place it is today.

Where was Edwin M. Bakewell, Who fought for his donated land back until his death? Who wanted this land that we learn on today to be an agricultural school, Bakewell, who did not see that this school, University High School, is where The greatest kids walk through the halls.
