I 1 THE JANITOR'S CI-IANT The girls are young pests, I really must say, They bother me morn, noon, and night, I go on my knees to search for the keys That they always drop far out of sight. I open their lockers, and sweep up the piles Of paper they leave all around, . I pull out Assembly Hall seats on the nights When parties and dances abound. I turn out the lights, they turn ,em right on, My hair has all nearly turned gray. They rarely close' windows, therbreeze blows in dust- But such is a janitor's day. I thank my good stars when vacation time comes, 4 And yet, it is often so queer, The College seems lonesome without the girls, fun, Their noise I should then like to hear! l d' ' the farce in Drama Class, suggests the following scenario Professor Tay or, iscussing I for a farce: 4 Cops 2 Custard Pies 9.
