Q Y E al L E Q gi aw X Gyrations are made by the notable few Who wish for diversion, exercise new, Yearning for stiff necks, dislocations and much Cracking of bones, sore muscles, and such. Miles quickly are covered by those who would walk, And 'lathlete's foot is the topic of talk, No gym today is a sentence unheard of Rain or shine we are present and move at the word of All manner of orders and shouted command That rings in our ears: wrecks the peace of our land.

But in spite of bent bones and hockey-Wounds and Water-clogged ears, ouldn't be school without athletics, and athletics wouldn't have ' s sports they were this year, if We hadn't had Miss Allen!
