QENERAL SENTIMENTS In memory ' s picture-gallery, There hangs many a famous scene, And many sights and sounds are there, Which each of us has gleaned. But a few there are we students Carry freshest in our minds, Each one is quite distinct to us. And why you ' ll surely find. Now we recall one jolly day, That turned sad as the grave, When some one said, Sing that alone, Now don ' t say you ' re afraid. Of course that was in Music, But think of Geography. We fear our grade school teachers Were careless as could be. For we should have learned Such work as that Way down in the fourth grade. The fact is we ' d ne ' er heard of it, And we the class delayed. And European History and History Methods too, With Problem and Project horrors. What with those could we do? Our drawing was atrocious. To that we must confess, But we at least enjoyed it well, And tried to do our best. And Health Ed. ne ' er such dumbell worked, In any gym as us. We came in fifteen minutes late, With gym suits old and mussed. But one more class we can ' t forget, With glaciers, stones and gems, And stars and moon and universe, Things much too rare, for men. But stop we must, we ramble far, Back thru those days gone by : We thank you for your interest kind, And bid you all good-bye.
