ALPHA GAMMA

The night of witches, cats and fun
Is very close at hand;
When Strollers will select the ones
Who seem to them most grand.
At 8 p. m. on Saturday,
The chapel will be filled.
The band will play, the guests will
clap,
The actors will be thrilled.
Six acta will be presented,
And the Strollers then will
choose.
Five dollars goes to each of two,
The other four must lose.
Must lose the prize but not the
fame,
Nor yet again the fun.
The evening is not over yet,
In fact it's just begun.
The Armory Is the next place
Of galty and poy.
We'll sing, we'll have our fortune
told;
We'll dance and eat. Oh boy!
