=n ws fi Mmj lag (Apologies to Tenun.son) Garlands to rigiit of them, Slickers to cover them. Leaders in front of them, [Marched they in silence. Singing with all their might. Flower basket clutched tight. Up to the Backwoodsman, In the i ale dawn of light Marched the green freshmen. Queens to rule over them, Children to play with them. Clowns to make sport of them, Bumping and jostling; As the damp evening fell. They, who had marched so well Under the May Day spell, Went from the old gym doors Back to the Vill to dwell, All that was left of them — Left of green freshmen. When will the glory fade Of their May Day parade. ' They made no blunders. Think of the dark, wet day. Pity the tlamp array. Plucky green freshmen. iFrrslimati Plag! (Eaal CCnarh ( Eommtttrr [27]
