Title
1973 Yearbook
Description
"Gitten Ejucated"
Since on this campus, stepped I
some four whole years ago.
To 'temp to learn the Kings' English,
and of course to make more doe,
My eyes were widely woken
to a countless number of things
like student demonstrations
those unlawful gatherings.
I learned you're not suppose to talk
about such things as 'rights',
'cause to a college 'ministration
the only right is might.
I learned that racial tensions
are caused by a malcontented few,
and anyone who disagrees
is probly malcontented too.
One profess helped me learn,
poly si was the best subject yet,
says he, "the system just ain't right,
its schemes you must detect."
I learned that I shoud 'predate
those good down-home-cooked meals,
cause what Saga'll put on ya
could make a horse stand still.
I learned that Tom Aquinas
must really have dug on law
cause no sane man otherwise
would have wrote 'Sum logica'.
But most of all, I've come to know
a degree alone can't stand
and we didn't get ejucated
if we don't respect all men.
And if with closed minds
our diploma we obtain,
we should start at the very beginning,
and try to begin again.
