(it ' s all in the point of view.) The day I remember the best, tra la, Is one that I love to recall, When all of us loudly professed, tra la, A desire to rush On through the Hall. They told you to march two abreast, tra la, So you clutched someone ' s shoulders with zest, tra la, Yelling words that are ever unguessed, tra la, (As the girl they were pinned to was tall.) The Sophomores made such a roar, tra la, That you couldn ' t hear yourself croak. They taunted with posters and gore, tra la, Missing no innuendo or joke. You dreaded each stairway and door, tra la, You seldom put foot to the floor, tra la, And the Sophomores, fearing to bore, tra la, In your ear noises queer would poke. When we got to the Arch of our Dream, tra la, We were scarlet, untidy, and hoarse. I have heard things are Not what they Seem, tra la, So I guess that nobody used force. Miss Maltby emerged from the stream, tra la, And helped us to scream as a team, tra la, And finding that We were the Cream, TRA LA, We got stuck on ourselves, of course.

Next year we were right on the spot, tra la, With many a gobble-un hoot We made the environment hot, tra la, And mewed, till we mewed ourselves mute. Explained, as a class, what was what, tra la, Retailed the advice we had got, tra la, And whether they liked it or not, tra la, Threw in some suggestions to boot. Then soon with a jubilant yowl, tra la, We encouraged the Babes on their way, And the Critics remarked with a scowl, tra la, Every Junior (and dog) has his day. And I heard the collegiate owl, tra la, (A most economical fowl), tra la, Say They ' re squandering many a joule, tra la, If I know anything about they. But with our advance in years, tra la, We have had to grow tactful and tame, And describe by mere ladylike cheers, tra la, Our love of this boisterous game. As we cheer for the gay little Dears, tra la, In voices bedewed with tears, tra la, Incredible though it appears, tra la, We are jealous, but are we to blame? Dorothy Child.
