I mcli-.Aia i A-.. ii . Ode to ffjuniors and Freshiesf' gee-f sri? The Senior year in dentistry is a cinch. Waiting for our sheepskins, we hang around, No longer do we study unless We're in a pinch. And with our knowledge the professors We astound. We are up on all our subjects, bear in mind, It comes by intuition, without an effort of our mind, While the juniors and the Freshies have to While the Juniors and the Freshies have to grind. grind. Our evenings with our lady friends we spend. VVe are easy with the money our friends so kindly lend- Our class, the Profs. agree, is the brightest of its kind. While the Juniors and the Freshies have to grind. We sometimes take in hospital clinics, it is true. We have the time, with nothing else to do. Perchance we flirt with nurses good and kind, While the Juniors and the Freshies have to grind. Why study? We' re Seniors, you can tell it in our looks. No more knowledge to secure till the authors' write more books. The faculty assures us we have enough on our minds, While the Juniors and the Freshies have to grind. Should it happen in the spring that We get plucked, Then vve'll wish We heard the lectures we have ducked. A year for meditation, with remorse upon our minds, Perhaps We'd better go to work and grind, grind, grind. G. B. L.
