It helped us not to try to balkg We twisted sticks about our head Or gravely waved dumb bells insteadg We learned to climb a dangling rope Then greased our bleeding hands with soap The Christians gave a grand horse show The junior class perforce must gog Of course it gave no one surprise That we took almost every prize, On all fours one lass tore her dress She won her ribbon, nevertheless. Our first field meet we held in May- Triumphant we, that happy day. For in our numbers one could eat, And one then proved herself quite fleet. The strong of arm was also ours, Twice over victor-happy hours. It mattered not if bones were sore For we had won one victory more. Though Senior duties won't allow Us to come out and show you how, We hope that, sisters, you may still Pursue athletics with some skill. 53
