Victoria College Students' Carnival. Thursday and Friday, June 24th and 25th, 1909

Jottings

Jottings.

Tune—La Tiddeley Tiddeley Um."

Here we are again you see,
Undergrads, upon the spree;
Of graduates we've capped a few
So what do you think we're going to do?
La diddeley diddeley de,
Students Carnival you see,
So la diddeley diddeley de,
We're here to make an uproar!

Wallace and Gibson supply Overcoats from 22/6 to 6 gns. each. The "Kash," Willis Street.

We've built a new gymnasium,
A really swell artistic one;
It still needs furnishing inside,
And a 6ecret we will now confide—
La diddeley diddeley de,
Furnishing costs a lot you see,
So la diddeley diddeley de,
We're open for subscriptions!

Have you seen our teaching staff?
Von delights the girls to chaff,
In fact they're all the best of fun,
But nothing surpasses the latest one!
La diddeley diddeley de,
Tall and handsome too is he.
And la diddeley diddeley de,
His name is F. P. Wilson.

Two Students' Hostels we have got,
Each when full will hold a lot;
The Ladies' one is crowded out
But the Hadfield men are heard to shout—
La diddeley diddeley de,
Twenty-two and six you see
So la diddeley diddeley de,
The male abode is empty!

Once some youthful students neat,
Thought they'd give the girls a treat;
Made their plans and made them well
To spring a surprise on the Girls' Hostel.
La diddeley diddeley de,
Bought the fruit and cakes you see,
But la diddeley diddeley de,
They found they were not needed.

Now two Rhodes Scholars we possess
Both renowned for cleverness,
The first one's name was Robertson,
But have you been told of the latest one?
La diddeley diddeley de
A braw and canny Scot you see,
And la diddeley diddeley de,
His name is A. Macdougall!

Now we've just had a tournament,
Two lost Shields we now lament;
Both Tennis and Athletics gone—
But when they brought the debaters on—
La diddeley diddeley de,
None could talk like us you see!
So la diddeley diddeley de,
Hurrah for Gibb and Davey!
