Show 104 U. of U. Chronicle Year Book "I speak not a word, I breathe not a sigh, And you'd best do likewise when I'm coming nigh, For if some tale of love I by chance interrupt, Your proposal, I fear, would be slightly abrupt. So if you desire to wed, maiden dear, Some studious Art, or a gay Engineer, I advise you to seek a more calm, sheltered spot , Or the life of a spinster will fall to your lot. "Then speak not a word, and breathe not a sigh, Although you consider the 'goblins' a lie, There's a fact that no 'varsity student can doubt, Miss Wilkinson will catch you 'if you don't watch out.' LOUIS SECKLES - "I never have longed for a flying machine To soar through the ether blue ; I never have wept for an automobile With a footer and goggles new. But down in the depths of my soul how I yearn For one thing that never has been, A thing which no Engineer yet has devised Out of iron, or platinum, or tin; "A thing that will measure a stretch most immense- A distance that nobody knows. I want a machine that will measure the length From my hat to the end of my toes!" PERCY GODDARD - "When I was just a little boy, And used to trot to school, My mamma taught me how to smile According to a rule. "And now that I'm a great big man I keep my winning smile, And since I'm leader of the Arts, It glistens for a mile. "It always makes my heart so glad, My smile it is immense! And then to make me more complete, I have such lovely sense! "I think there's no one in the world Has half such darling ways, For when my smile has once arrived, It stays, and stays, and stays!" |
