Sawdust Four short years we’ve been in circus, In our Mammoth Big Blue Show. In our troupings we’ve seen both the sad and gay. Though our teachers they did work us, Deep inside our hearts we know That we’ve lived a life of jollity and play. We have had our four rings going; Each one greater than the last, With the sawdust sprinkled round to ease our falls. We’ve performed as if not knowing That the days were going fast And we’d soon be gone forever from these halls. In the Freshman ring we tumbled, Silly clowns, the butt of quips, Bringing laughter from our elders all about. In our Sophomore ring we grumbled As we eyed our trainers’ whips— Savage beasts who soon were tamed without a doubt. The equestrian performers That we showed in Junior ring Gave prediction of the prowess still to be. In the last, our gay barnstormers Flew from high trapeze to swing In such feats of skill and power rare to see. But the flight of years is rapid And the show is o’er too soon. With reluctance do we leave the sawdust ring. And our futures may seem vapid While our lives we must attune To the hardships that the coming years will bring. Therefore hail our four year circus! Hail our Mammoth Big Blue tent! Hail those troupings we’ll remember and retell! Hail the tasks that seemed to irk us, And those happy hours spent! Now we’ll hail our Alma Mater—then farewell!
