SACK.
THE SAME OLD SACK.
’Twas on the nig-ht of the Junior
banquet..
Excitement filled the air.
The Fish took Agfit for the woeful
night,
And scattered everywhere.
The Sophomores had their plans laid
well.
They were wise to every fact;
They even knew when the spread
was due,
And still they held the sack
Even on the Junior program
Each speaker they could name;
So they took a sack upon their back,
Prepared to bag the game.
But the sack was old and full of
holes
From use for centuries back.
So everyone knew how the game slip
ped thru,
While the Sophomores held the
sack.
This is the story the Juniors tell;
How long and loud their cry!
That despite the toil, the strife and
moil
We let his Highness by.
How “the sack was old and full of
holes”—
But by this very fact,
[’ll tell you now the where and the
how.
And why the Sophs still hold the
sack.
'Twas on a night one year before:
A banquet then was spread.
The Sophs of then, all mighty men( ?)
Were filled with fear and dread.
They circled the hall from door to
door,
Patrolled both front and back;
But you must know how great their
woe,
When it was them that held the
sack.
How great their glee, it seems to me.
To bag their game at all;
But greater despair then rent the air,
When thru the sack the game did
fall.
’Twas then and there that hole was
made,
That hole was torn by Mac;
And ’twas its size and not disguise
That left us holding the sack.
Then came the Sophs of ”22
And grabbed the same old end.
While fully aware that the hole was
there,
We found it too big to mend.
So thus he slipped or rather ripped
Thru the same old crack.
When thus he dropped our worries
stopped,
And left us holding the sack.
The Juniors then before the spread
Bowed their heads to pray
‘Oh, Lord, the Just, now pray we
must
And give thee thanks this day;
For the help that Thou has rendered.
Too well we see the things we
lack,
For by Thy powers and not by ours,
We know the Sophs now hold the
sack.”
