Now begins the performance and the fraternities put on their stunts,
Ever with the idea of adding to that silver row above the fireplace
Yet another cup. Many and clever the take-offs on college notables.
Swift runners in the relay race contest for favorite sororities.
Thruout it all the clowns tumble and play their tricks,
Firing guns to attract the attention of the crowd.
And without ceasing, the lively jazz music of the band
Beats on—on—blaring upon the quivering night air.
Trapeze and bar experts perform wonderful feats of strength and agility
In the spot light, above a long straight line of men in white,
Rises a great human pyramid, immovable, stupendous.
At the end comes the grand climax,—always impressive, startling:—
A diver, blindfolded, plunging into a tank of burning oil;
Ever with the idea of adding to that silver row above the fireplace
Yet another cup. Many and clever the take-offs on college notables.
Swift runners in the relay race contest for favorite sororities.
Thruout it all the clowns tumble and play their tricks,
Firing guns to attract the attention of the crowd.
And without ceasing, the lively jazz music of the band
Beats on—on—blaring upon the quivering night air.
Trapeze and bar experts perform wonderful feats of strength and agility
In the spot light, above a long straight line of men in white,
Rises a great human pyramid, immovable, stupendous.
At the end comes the grand climax,—always impressive, startling:—
