Show 3hFaithful Reproduction of Chi Omega Chorus (We Were Ingrates To Do It)Vaudevillainous.(Author's Name on Application.)"Eve, what about our annual show?We've got to raise some rent! We've had so many teas and 'busts,'We haven't got a cent."Let's laundry-list our talent, Eve, For we must pay our board bill;Let's hang our clothes on a hickory limb, And give 'em some vaudeville.""O bold and brazen Freshman maid,Into the tub you go! Professional acting none expectIn a Chi Omega show.""We've Helen Hez and her red dress, And 'Heavenly Helen' sings;We'll stage some Edyth Barlow glides." (Hilarious Highland Flings.)Out stepped the chorus (See above.) The front row took by storm;Said both the front row occupants, They were in splendid form.Local Color.Color of hair seems to have been an influential qualification of candidates for Student Body office. Loyalty to college colors was noticeable in the selection of nominees.Retrospect. In the dear old college days,In the good old long ago, We used to gather 'round-Not with painful steps, nor slow- At the Mission.There o'er the bright brass rail,After a football game, Over the foaming steinsWe welcomed all who came To the Mission.There we had freedom of speech,Nor needed the whistle-code We used at the Pharmacy fountain.Much travelled the easy road To the Mission.One night for the gay Newhouse And one for the Pullman thing,And all the rest of the nights We gathered 'round to sing At the Mission.No matter, a barb or a Greek,A freshman or senior hale, All on the same grounds met,At the same brass railOf the Mission.Oh, here's to the great old Mission, Oft sought by the college male!And here's to the steins of foaming stuff, Served o'er the bright brass rail Of the Mission.214 |
