Subject: Inheritance not working as expected

I am trying to build up some classes using inheritance but I'm not
getting the expected results

Here are my classes and test data

class Control
	attr :attributes, true

	def initialize(x, y, w, h)
		@attributes = {
			'x'=>x,
			'y'=>y,
			'h'=>w,
			'w'=>h
		}
	end

	def getAttributes
		return @attributes
	end
end

class StaticTextControl < Control

	def initialize(x, y, w, h, xBorder, yBorder, fontSize, fontMode,
phrase)
		super(x, y, w, h)
		@@desc = 'STATIC_TEXT_CONTROL'
		@attributes = {
			'xBorder'=>xBorder,
			'yBorder'=>yBorder,
			'fontSize'=>fontSize,
			'fontMode'=>fontMode,
			'phrase'=>phrase
		}
	end

	def getAttributes
		return @attributes.merge(super)
	end
end

stc = StaticTextControl.new(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
puts stc.getAttributes


When I run the script I get this:
returning attributes {"phrase"=>9, "xBorder"=>5, "fontSize"=>7,
"yBorder"=>6, "fontMode"=>8}
phrase9xBorder5yBorder6fontSize7fontMode8

I am expecting the attributes from the super class to be included as
well.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
