The Sophs they taught football, And awed all with their versatility: Smokers and boat rides were forgotten And the cherished exams put them Thru' the steam roller to he made Sophs!

And we did! At our only dinner With a Merry -Christmas for the Profs. Atta boy, kid! Bring on the eats! A speech! A speech! A speech! My kingdom for a speech! And full many a throne Was abdieated that night! Next day the usual exercises, And those who could attend Were proud to see the best After seeing the Rouglmeck We danced beneath the pines And thought, By gosh! lt was a swell affair! But we must attain our goal, So we put our noses to the grindstone 'Till the sparks did fly And we rubbed Alladin's Lamp Which revealed long lines Of hopefuls in Caps and Gowns there ever was!
