"HAVE A GOOD VACATION!"

Christmas is coming

And, Harvard is humming

With carols and barrels of beer,

Metropolitan slumming

And dignified rumming

pro-claim that vacation is here!

For brotherly love

Is the keynote, I gather,

And no one can get to bad early

(l.e. note that Mather

Is out of his lather

And Curley has stopped being surly!)

Beneath every tower

The janitors cower,

But are they downhearted? (Yes, very!)

Oh there's nothing like Christmas

As hour by hour

Life in Harvard gets more and more merry!

Mount Auburn St. sinners

Are busy at dinners,

And some of us play on our zithers,

While other who've spent

All the cash they were sent

Are writing their fathers and mithers.

Dunster House men,

Men of Lowell and Leverett,

Kirkland and Claverly Hall,

Whether you're bound

For Bermuda--or Everett,

Here's Merry Christmas to all!
