THE NEW GYMNASIUM.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

(Dedicated to the Professor in English 2, who expressed a desire to hear a good old English refrain).

THIS is the new Gymnasium.

This is the boy all dressed in blue

Who sits in the new Gymnasium.

This is attendant No. 2

Who bosses the boy all dressed in blue

Who sits in the new Gymnasium.

This is the clerk who has nothing to do

But boss attendant No. 2

Who bosses the boy all dressed in blue

Who sits in the new Gymnasium.

This is the Freshman very wise

Who expressed a desire to exercise

To the gentle clerk who has nothing to do

But boss attendant No. 2

Who bosses the boy all dressed in blue

Who sits in the new Gymnasium.

This is the ticket that, punched clear through

By the clerk, the boy, and attendant too,

Let in the Freshman very wise

Who expressed a desire to exercise

To the gentle clerk who has nothing to do

But boss attendant No. 2

Who bosses the boy all dressed in blue

Who sits in the new Gymnasium.

This is the uniform very swell

That's needed in order to exercise well

After giving the ticket that, punched all through

By the clerk, the boy, and attendant too,

Let in the Freshman very wise

Who expressed a desire to exercise

To the gentle clerk who has nothing to do

But boss attendant No. 2

Who bosses the boy all dressed in blue

Who sits in the new Gymnasium.

These are the rules which all must obey

That briefly tell the proper way

To use the uniform very swell

That's needed in order to exercise well

After giving the ticket that, punched all through

By the clerk, the boy, and attendant too,

Let in the Freshman very wise

Who expressed a desire to exercise

To the gentle clerk who has nothing to do

But boss attendant No. 2

Who bosses the boy all dressed in blue

Who sits in the new Gymnasium.

And this is the taffy and red tape too

That all, like the Freshman, have to go through

To obey the rules which all must obey

That briefly tell the proper way

To use the uniform very swell

That 's needed in order to exercise well

After giving the ticket that, punched all through

By the clerk, the boy, and attendant too,

Let in the Freshman very wise

Who expressed a desire to exercise

To the gentle clerk who has nothing to do

But boss attendant No. 2

Who bosses the boy all dressed in blue

Who sits in the new Gymnasium.
