Miss Grayson came riding down to the South ; Viva her A. B.! “Bennie is the name of my horse,” she said; Viva la “Amote”! She paused in dismounting to pick up a song Which lodged in the heart of a son of the dawn Who came in a rush, for love tarries not long; Viva sentimentality ! Mr. Gurganus is most pleasant and gay ; Viva la gallantry! His intentions are kindly in every way; Viva la chivalry! He’s good-looking and has a dramatic pose, But why will he flirt? Oh, well, nobody knows, Because his wife lets him do so, I suppose; Viva “comraderie”! Here’s to Mrs. Brown and our breakfast each morn; Viva la hominy! And our dinners are not to be put to scorn; Viva la “Aleck’ie”! To everything placed on the table we sing— To chicken, its drumstick, wishbone and wing, And when we have ice-cream our hearts loudly sing Viva the dinner Sundee! We pledge them in a full brimming glass; Viva la faculty! And we 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 blue and the white; We thank them with love,—now they’re all out of sight— Viva la A. C. C.! u

THE FACULTY SONG u Our fond recollections of past college days Viva la memory! Turn to our teachers and all their queer ways; Viva la charity! They taught us aright, tho’ they taught us some wrong; We wish to embalm them in this little song, And as we can’t take all, we’ll not take long, So viva la brevity! j. To Dr. Caldwell we’ll drink with loud cheers; Viva our J. C. C.! Grape juice is our toast—no intoxicants here— Viva sobriety! lie won’t let us dance, but he wants us to walk ; lie won't let us drive, for Prince might kick or . balk; Of college ideals he will evermore talk. Viva la propriety! Mrs. Dunlap is mistress of one and of all ; Viva authority! She doesn’t want talking aloud in the hall; Viva la courtesy ! Uneasy, they say, lies the head with the crown. But it is we who are uneasy if ever she frowns, With such a dire fate we’d surely swound; Viva la rapidity! Here’s to the music that soothes all our fears ; Viva la melody! It's soft on our souls, but it’s hard on our ears; Viva la harmony! Here's to art, expression, English, and all; Here’s to athletics, Julian Lane, and baseball; lie’ll teach us to win or gracefully fall; Viva hilarity! Miss Fanny is standing beside the blackboard ; O, trigonometry! With all mathematics her head is well stored ; Viva geometry! She has almost sighed her dear life away Pounding the the’rems into brains, day by day; “O, girls, can’t you see that the thing that will pay 18 Is reason, uot memory.”
