THE SENIOR MAGNET 29 Now let my advice be final That whatever else you do, Wear a gas mask, eat lots of onions, Otherwise yoirll get the “flu.” MY SCHOOL DAYS IRMA HANSEN We used to laugh when we heard them say, That going to school was just mere play, But say! I’m glad that I’m 'most through, And won't have many more sums to do. And as for Chemistry—such a pest, 1 have to study to do my best, Such messing around with acids and bases I’m 'most afraid we’ll disfigure our faces. And as for Vergil—I wish he’d died Before he wrote such awful lies, Such tales of heroes brave and bold. Enough to make your blood run cold. I never did like Geometry Or understood Physiology And as for History—it wasn’t bad, I liked it best of all I had. Well, I guess I've complained almost enough, About English, French and the rest of the stuff, But in spite all, this much I say. That School Days are our happiest days. THE KAISER’S DREAM “mac” Ex-Kaiser Bill once had a dream, —And that dream, it made him beam— That all land in geography Belonged entire to Germany. He saw his mighty hosts advance, Along the lovely fields of France, His sailors, too, though very drunk, The mighty Beets of England sunk. Then Bill awoke with a sudden start, For Uncle Sam was taking part, He crushed Bill’s army like a shell. Then Bill arose and went to—Holland. OUR STIFF COLLARS With Apologies to Writer of “The Old Oaken Bucket” INEZ DOUG AN How dear to our hearts are our high cold-starched collars, Which Style says we must, positively must wear, We wear them for funerals, weddings and such like, But thanks be to goodness, such times are quite rare. CHORUS Our dear stiff starched collars. Oh! how they do choke us, We wriggle and twist— But it seems all in vain. We pull them, we twist them, We bless them, we curse them, We ccax them and drive them— They pinch just the same. How glad we will be when Commencement is over, We can cast them aside then forever and aye, We’ll hunt our old soft ones and quickly replace them. And hope we won’t wear them for many a day. (This song is dedicated to the boys of our class who so nobly suffered the agony of wearing stiff collars during Commencement Week.)
