Was designed to show us Ourselves in such a way That we wouldn ' t know us, As Wells and Carroll Hearst and O ' Neill Expected a Barnard girl Would feel But if they were right In respect to the plot, we Suspect that Barnard ' s completely dotty. As Juniors, now the things we ' ve done Are known to everyone. But as Seniors what we ' ll do Is unknown to ine or you. Though there ' s one thing unquestioned Acknowledged and predestined.
