SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1931. Volume 2. Number 6.

Mere Buttonholes

Mere Buttonholes

A Doctor comes from festive France.
The students eye him all askance;
But their suspicions he allays
By handing handfuls of Bouquets.

There is another Doctor, too,
Who stirs the economic stew.

A former student, Riske by name,
Ascended to immortal fame;
And now we've lost our little Max,
We hope he's happy with the Quacks.

Education is a b.,
Spread abroad by A.E.C.
Oh what joy to drop a spanner
On his ancient Roman manner!

Mr. Cochrane's never blue.
Though not a writer of revue,
His botanical collection
Keeps him from the least dejection.

See the scientist Munro,
Lightly tripping heel and toe.
Though his build is ostentatious
He discources of the gaseous.

If your Latin is gymnastic
Mr. Elliott is drastic;
For his manner can be placid,
But it May be prussic acid.

'Neath the library's vaulted ceiling
Student voices softly pealing—
Such a state is non-existent.
Thanks to Miller and assistant.

Ingratiating are the wiles
Of placid pleading Mr. Miles;
His mind it seems is acrobatic—
Half is French, half mathematic.

Wise men to the tune of four
Help expound the tricks of law—
Each one singing in succession
Praises of the Great Profession.

Scrambles in Philosophy
Are now run off by I.L.G.,
Who takes an ample inspiration
From the Russians, in rotation.

A display will be given early in October by Nancy Webber's gymnasium class. Slouching students will there be privileged to see Posture, with a capital P. Imaginative rhythmic dances, gymnastic dances, corective posture exercises, all performed to music, will be included in the display, which will be the culmination of a year's gratuitous work on Nancy's part with a class of women students.

Your friends and relations will enjoy "Spike."
