M i I f acultp J)ong Our fond recollection of past college days, Viva la memory! Turn to our teachers and all their queer ways, Viva la charity! They taught us aright, though they taught us some wrong We wish to em balm them in this little song. But as we can ' t take all, we will not take long; So viva la brevity! To Dr. Gaines drink we with loud ringing cheers. Viva la our D. G. ! Grape juice is our toast, no intoxicants here — Viva sobriety! He won ' t let us dance, but he wants us to walk, He won ' t let us drive, — horse might kick or balk. Of college ideals he will evermore talk; Viva propriety! Dean Hopkins is mistress of one and of all, Viva authority! She doesn ' t wish talking aloud in the hall. Viva la courtesy! Uneasy, they say, lies the head with the crown. But it ' s we who ' re uneasy, if ever she frown; O girls, do not sit there upon the damp ground; Get up immediately! Miss Mary has on her stern face a dark frown. Viva infirmary! Just open your mouth and they ' ll slip right on down. Viva la pillory! Viva la powder, and viva la pills. Viva each dose that would lessen our ills, Whether it cures you or whether it kills — Viva la remedy! Here ' s to the music that soothes all our fears. Viva la melody! It ' s soft on our souls, but its hard on our ears. Viva la harmony! Here ' s to Dramatics, Miss Cady and all. Here ' s to Athletics, Miss Ross, Basketball. She ' ll teach us to win, or else gracefully fall. Viva hilarity! 13

Miss Anna is standing beside the blackboard, O, trigonometry! With all mathematics her head is well stored, Viva geometry! A halo should crown her kind patience each day, Miss Anna has ' most sighed her poor life away — O girls, can ' t you see this? The thing that will pay Is reason — not memory! Now Dr. Arbuckle ' s tongue always will wag. Viva geology! To hear him sometimes you might think of a jag. Viva la chemistry! The jokes that he tells are an evermore sight. And sometimes one really should not listen — quite, He talks, as we know, with a feverish might. Viva loquacity! Miss Sniith came a-riding down into the South, Viva la Ph.D. Bennett she said, is the name of my horse, Viva la amo te ! She paused in dismounting to pick up an arrow. It lodged in the heart of poor little Miss Darrow, And there is a crush now, for love didn ' t spare her. Viva sentimentality! Dr. Armistead is very pleasant and gay. Viva la gallantry! His intentions are kindly in every way. Viva la chivalry! He ' s nice-looking and has a dramatic pose, But why will he flirt? Oh, well, nobodj ' knows! Because he has nothing to do, I suppose, Viva J. D. M. A.! Here ' s to Mrs. Mays and our breakfast each morn. Viva la hominy! And dinner is not a thing to put to scorn. Viva dear old Billy! To everything placed on the table we sing. To chicken, its drumsticks, and wishbone and wing. And when we have ice-cream, our hearts loudly sing. Viva the dinner Sundee! We pledge to them all in a full brimming glass. Viva la faculty! And wish we had room for them all as we pass. Viva la company! Each one did his best to help us do the right And make our lives worthy the purple and white. We thank them with love — they ' re all out of sight, Vive la A. S. C! 14
