So I�m sitting on my bed, and it�s a few days before finals
I�m thinking about how I can waste some time
I pull out my SPHINX folder, and I check out the old roster
And I wonder if I can make everybody rhyme..
Buker�s the first name on the list
Partway down�s Lenore Jarvis
Mikal is in KKG
The Maximus master�that�s Becky�
[chorus]
You gotta love SPHINX
The 97th class, all 26 links
You gotta love SPHINX
You gotta love SPHINX
The 97th class, all 26 links
You gotta love SPHINX
We�ve got Sarahs�musical and not
Jim�s sweater vests are pretty hot
Dan Jaynes, the recycling guy
The Cherry Blossom Princess Cindy Cryyyyyder�
[chorus]
Molly�s got the Irish name
There�s Kirk Strohman of goatee fame
David is in marching band
Robert finds artifacts in the sand�
[chorus]
We�ve even got a fencer, Nate
Sam is gonna regulate
Our VP�s the girl they call K-mart
Josh will tell you this incredibly long story about a time he put his butt through a window at OU, so don�t let him start�
[chorus]
Allison was an RA
And Uma was a chem TA
Bernie�he works out in Ag.
And Zach works for The Lantern rag�
[chorus]
Tahira�s the president of SAC
We�ve got the Staters pres., too�that�s Katy
Ben Ranz�he�s from Oakie High
Amy G. is now from Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiowa
[chorus]
Last but not least, Italian Frank
There�s three more people we gotta thank
Advisors�Shari, Carl, and Brad
Hey, this song is not too bad�
[chorus x 2� or more :-)]
Kerry Buker, who was able to make a brief appearance at the advance, remarked, �Those SPHINX kids are so cool, I will definitely be at every advance the entire time from now on!� Even Dan Jaynes, one of the �older� members of the honorary was heard saying, �I forgot you can have so much fun with people you like that it�s like you�re young again. Too bad I fell asleep early.� Sam Viglienghi, social chair and then-regulator, commented, �Being a founding member of such prestigious organizations as Club Tub is something I will always cherish.� She later denied having a part in said activities.
Kirk Strohman, advance co-chair for W*sc*ns*n and just one cool guy, interrupted at this point and said, �This trip was so much fun! Wow, I wish I could have gone!� David Tynan, the other co-chair for the Hocking Hills advance and who has a walk-on role in the upcoming Matrix movie, nodded in agreement and expressed feelings wishing every link could have attended. �This is what it�s all about guys. But I guess I could understand if one person couldn�t attend an advance.� Tynan was unavailable for further comment as he was busy learning the second and third verses of Carmen Ohio.
When asked his opinion of the trip, Nathan �Zorro-Wouldn�t-Know-What-Hit-Him-In-A-Swordfight-With-Me� Weir only grumbled, �I got bruised.� On a brighter note, Mikal Nolan, the girl who likes to drive by the same place in the woods several times, said, �I never knew you could learn so much about yourself just playing Taboo!� Becky Tippett laughed heartily in agreement with Mikal�s statement, saying, �That game was definitely a lot of fun. I was also very pleased that there were so many sinks in the cabin.� Madame President Sarah Elder was even able to take time out of her busy schedule and compose a class song. Because it has proven so popular, advisors Brad Myers, Shari Lorbach, and Carl Zulauf are considering nominating it for a Grammy in the Best Senior Honorary at Ohio State Song category. Said Ms. Elder, �It�s not the fame that�s important, but the people who I wrote the song for. Who will all learn it by the way if I have anything to do with it.� Sarah Santilli, who, in a bizarre twist, apparently knows a lot of people with masks and chainsaws, has been asked to collaborate on Madame Elder�s song by adding 4-part harmony and possibly full instrumental accompaniment. She responded, however, �I would love nothing more than to be a part of what is sure to be an historic event, but because I�m still getting over the shock of how amazing that advance was I just don�t know when I would be able to get started.�
It sounds like it will be hard to top an advance of this caliber. This writer, for one, is sure that if any SPHINX class can do it, it is the 97th. Go Bucks!
