pages of effective cartoons, and the following
song, author not named:
Up to old Augusta came thousand knights
one day,
Maine, St. Alban Palestine. St. Omer, De
Molay,
All blew in to our blow out at Trinity's abode,
While Claremont in their jitneys had their
blow out on the road.
CHORUS.
It's long way to old Augusta,
It's long way to go;
Takes thousand Knights to get there,
And they're starry Knights, you know;
Some blow in from Belfast,
Portland, all about,
And the jtneys hike across from Rockland,
When Claremont blows out!
(Chorus thrown on screen and repeated,
Knights joining in.)
