1917 Yearbook
Description
OFT IN THE STILLY NIGHT
lem Hogan recites this in his sleep—
'Tis midnight and the setting sun
Is rising in the wide, wide West;
The rapid rivers slowly run,
The frog is on his downy nest;
The pensive goat and sportive cow
Hilarious hop from bough to bough,
—and then he wakes up.
IMPOSSIBILIA
One night as I lay on my pillow,
One night as I lay on my bed,
I wondered if ever logic
Could be pounded into my head.
II.
So in the morning I went to my teacher
In the morning I went to T. C.
I asked if I could pass logic,
He said, "I guess not, but I'll see."
III.
So then I went to father,
So then I consulted Pa-Pa.
He didn't seem pleased altogether,
And said, "Go consult your Ma-Ma."
IV.
Her answer seemed rather restraining
Her answer did not appear right
She said that the best thing she knew of
Was for me to stay in every night.
V.'
My diploma lies over the ocean
My diploma lies over the sea.
I'm "afraid I'll be old and gray-headed
Before it's presented to me.
