RUNYAN AND JENNINGS, COMPOSERS We started the year with a great big bang, The stoops are ringing yet. The sinister seven wanted the guy, And they are still meeting I bet. The boys in Gregg called Rhodes their Pop, While Hook fought the Fowler gang. We packed away Wagner in cosmoline, And from Haas the gym rafters rang. Our little Jack Hooley had lovely dreams Of Jean with the light brown hair, While Taggart dreamed of Minnesota, And Baute of soap to spare. Steve Miles was as tall as his name implies. And Corn swam his way to fame, While Benson ruled Newlfirk with mighty hand, And Sparks flew when he met the same. Frutcher and Hubbard were lady killers, At least that is what they said. Ed Richard was found in the library, And Wilders girl was wed. Dave Gordon, they say, managed everything well, Including the Salty Sankf' If Porter e'er gets the Salt out of his hair, He'll have Fitch Shampoo to thank. t'Cunol Vinton was voted the first to secede, While Rohde trained for the big fight, And maneuvered the stoop in Shannon's lifeboat, And loudly inquired Right? Lynch wanted to know what Trig. was good for, While Lerch liked to laugh at Zepp's jokes. Holeman, they say, took English by storm, And Tyson thought it was a hoax. We wonder why Miguel looks like a beer keg. And how Robinson got to be Pink, Why Gatchel and Fleming quit the Kay club, And Jennings and Baker don't sink. Runyan and Klempner both carried the flags, But who could tell which were the poles. Jock and Dave King played all kinds of ball, While Stewart kept shoveling coal. Preston and Williams could always be found Under the big bass drum. While Gilmore, they say. was a Bostonian, Or was it his tongue that was numb. Ray wanted to be with Anita so much, And Chuck Nutting we often saw With Bundles he'd picked up in St. Matthews. Lillycrop, Lillycrop, Rah! Rah! Rah! We saw a lot of Mountain Lyons this year, And Heffron was heard down in D. Maxwell told us he'd do it before we began. Cordes was the man of mystery. The dirt found on Walz was behind his big ears And Bing Hall didn't sing. We got lots of Raine from Alabama, And Freeman was quite close to String, You could easily tell that the windy city, Was the home of our Don Donohue. Bob Van Metre breezed in from Huntington, While Richards, J. said he was through. John Erickson still claimed Indiana the best. And Story carried a shovel. Korstanje grew to be six foot and more, And from Kidwell we had no trouble. Arthur finally got the rank he deserved, And Ted Jenks retired to the staff. And Kilroy we don't know a thing about. About Solter we do not know half. The year is rapidly drawing to closeg It's time to say goodby. We've left our mark on your hallowed halls, So, farewell K. M. I. -Exunt Omnis
