VS nplrninnxe aah 7 xmslxmsm tfllaas US angs- SOPHOMORE CLASS SONG. TUZVE-dlllosguito Parade. The wonderful class of 1908 Is always ready and wide awake, he bri htest class in old I C T g . , None are so clever and gay as We. All the classes envy us, All of them must look up to us, Even Juniors, who have been Unruly children, heard not seen. Dear little kids of IQOQ, Alma Mater should use her pine, FRESHMAN CLASS SONG. I. The Seniors think that they have lots of trouble, And talk about Commencement that comes in June, The juniors were complaining last December Because their recital was coming very soon. .Even Sophomores are not exempt from worry, For their play will come some time in May 5 But these cannot be thought of with the Freshmen, Who have their little troubles every day. ' It is no use, We can't get loose. From the good Book you oft have read That the child is spoiled if the rod is spared. Hurrah I for the class of 1908, Hurrah I for the colors red and black, May our fame ever shine Over the heads of 1909. The Illustrious Twelve we surely are, Known to all both near and far. And if you've ne'er heard of 1908 You surely are not up-to-date. TUNE- All Coons Look Alike io life. Faculty are quite bowed down with trouble, 2. The And complain about the rules they have to make 3 Say they're bothered half to death because the students Seem to think that rules are only made to break. But when made these rules are sure to last a life time, To break them all a student wouldn't dare, So it's clear that all these worries of instructors With a Freshman's simply can't compare. It is no use, We can't get loose. CHORUS : All days are alike to us, Filled up with Algebra, History and Gym., VVorst of all we must write essays, We simply can't get rid of them. On Sunday if we take a We' re sure to hear with rest, strong protest : just hand two in on Monday, All days are alike to us. -109
