ramblin' along- with Jan. '28
what sweet little dears we
were when we first came to
east high ... so innocent
. . . so credulous, so simple
that we even believed everything
that our teachers
told us. . . but that was
before we met the honorable
and exalted general
smith who taught us the
little tricks of life that
make us great successes . . .
oh ... yes . . . herr Schmidt
as the brewers call him
taught us how to be high
and mighty sophisticates . .
ho . . hum . . and before we
could even neglect our gar-
ters . . we turned collegiate
. . ray . . ray . . and from
that time on nothing but
the latest in collegianna
satisfied us .... leather
heels . . zippy cravats ....
and all the rest of the . . oh
. . you know what. . being
collegiate we had to throw
a party . . so the junior jingle
was our first little hoofer
and how we cavorted at
that affair will be only told
to the select initiate who
were fortunate to be there
. . . but the crowd couldn't
be satisfied with one party
so the high moguls thre
another one dubbed the hoo
doo on a eve that is known
as halloween . . hey . . you
. . put on the lights . . the
cider flowed in even tempo
to the umpah .. umpah of
that syncopating music . . .
and what else we did is
nobody's business . . then
our handsome athletes . . .
stepped to the fore and
grabbed off the school
championship in soccer and
in basketball . . it's too bad
we didn' t have a parlor contest
. . or else our boys
would have taken first prize
there . . then we turned
dramatic . . cut out the razz
. . and it is here that we
cut some swanky ice when
we put on that smashing
football drama at the end of
the rainbow . . standing
room only folks . . but that
wasn't our fault . . no not
much . . being such marvelous
actors . . shhhhh..and
again we went back to
society . . hot dog . . and
woof woof . . but the bow
wow was certainly a wow
of a snappy strutter . . all
we needed to deaden the
party was seven more hot
jazz bands . . but the lure
of the footlights beckoned
again . . so this time we
clicked out another fast
comedy hit called just out
of college . . and that had
them all stopped with its
george ade humorous gags
but we didn't want any
more laurels on the stage
so we went back again to
our social racket of rip
snortin' parties and the
next one entitled the fiesta
was a beaut . . what I mean
. . just look at this usual
view of the fiesta at the
right . . and use your imagination
. . or draw your own
conclusion . . and then it
didn't take long before
senior day came round . . .
so the boys were wild and
their pants were woolly . . .
and the girls in the artist
garb were knockouts . . and
how they gave the ballroom
floor of the Seneca the old
workout . . well . . shed
a tear for good times but
graduation day soon over
took us and we had to bid
good-bye to our alma mater
with our coveted sheepskins
under our arms and
depart for the cruel outside
world.
