Show Senior Chapel(With Apologies to Kudpard Ripling)WHAT'S all this mob at Chapel for?" said Prexie much dismayed. "To see the Seniors' caps and gowns," Professor Bennion said. "What makes you look so white, sowhite?" said Prexie much dismayed. "I'm dreading what I've got to watch,"Professor Bennion said. "For they're holding Senior Chapel, andthe Preacher's here to pray, And with him are the Regents and thespeaker of the day; And I've got a strong suspicion there willbe the deuce to payWhile we're holding Senior Chapel here this morning.""What means this herd of motley clowns?' said Prexie much dismayed."The Juniors have donned caps and gowns," Professor Bennion said."It is a spectacle uncouth," said Prexie much dismayed."The youth of Utah 'tis forsooth," Professor Bennion said."They have clad their manly figures in the sheets from off their beds,And they've set be-tassled dunce caps on their empty addled heads,And the discipline committee many tears they've caused to shedBy their conduct during Chapel here this morning-."What makes Professor Marshall weep?" said Prexie much dismayed."The chairman's English makes him sick," Professor Bennion said."What makes Miss Babcock wildly shriek?" said Prexie much dismayed."The chairman's elocution's weak," Professor Bennion said."They are holding Senior Chapel and instead of psalm* and prayer,They are singing a most ribald and profane and vulgar air,And they're telling how they painted their inscriptions everywhere,While they're holding Senior Chapel in the morning."Who is that bawling out in front?" said Prexie much dismayed." 'Tis Hamren pulling off a stunt," Professor Bennirn said."Why to such cries does he give vent?" said Prexie much dismayed."He imitates the President," Professor Bennion said."For the Senior Chapel's over and the class is marching- byTo the measures sweet and dulcet of 'A Utah Man nm I,'And I think I'll have a drink for I am feeling mighty dryAfter seeing Senior Chajwl here this morning."(58) |
