Description
THE RINGING OF THE BELL
When you're 'mong the downy feathers, a-sawing down a tree,
And your mind's in sunny dreamland where the pretty fairies be,
The wind howls at your window and the mercury is low
And the fireman still snoozing in the furnace room below
When your room is like an icebox and the radiator froze
And your chin is of tert tickled by the icicle on your nose;
But your bed is warm and lovely and you're happier than kings
Don't it make you feel like cussing
when the first bell rings.
BUT—
When the Prof is out of humor and you're out upon the floor,
And the questions that he asks you, you never heard before
When your knees are getting shaky and you tremble at the spine
And you wish you were a Sammy chasing Germans 'cross the Rhine,
And you try to smile with confidence but grin a sickly grin,
For your brain is on a free day and your line is awful thin
When the cold sweat's on your forehead and you can't recall a thing
0, don't it make you happy
when the class bell rings ?
R. E. C, '19.
Ziggy (as water drips through ceiling of 2nd floor) : "Where is all of
that water coming from ?"
Ray: "From up stairs, I guess."
ET TU ZIGGY?
Fr. D. (during Ethics lecture) : "God must be loved 'super omnia.'
Now Mr. Simmons, is the love a young man has for his fiance greater than
the love he has for God ?"
Ziggy: "Well, it is more natural."
(Chorus of Class): "Ha! Ha!"
Ziggy: "What day does Troy go to New York?"
Tarn: "Next Tuesday."
Ziggy: "Then Healy goes Monday, each goes one day ahead of the
other."
Mallo: "Say, have you got change for a dollar?"
Judge: 'Sure thing."
Malloy: "Lend me thirty-five for a couple of sandwiches, will you?"
"No, Judge, pajamas are not what is commonly known as 'evening
dress.'"
Nieters: "At our house my mother read my Reports to the family on
New Year's Day."
Carpentier: "What's the use of starting a fight on New Year's,"
