     There once was a Freshman named Clio, 
     
     Who came to UPEI, 
     
    

    
     And was at once assaulted 
     
    

    
     By every club under the sky! 
     
    
   
   
    
     First he turned down the Bios, 
     
     As he was not interested in dissecting frogs, 
     
     But then came the Engineers, 
     
    
   
   
    
     Who were anxious to design a few more bogs! 
     
    
   
   
    
     He listened to their arguements, 
     
     But then turned them down, 
     
     As he had not come to college, 
     
    
   
   
    
     To learn how to be a clown! 
     
    
   
   
    
     Business and economic students touted him, 
     
    

    
     As did many other groups and clubs, 
     
    

    
     But Clio did not feel he belonged to any of them, 
     
     And so he went downtown for a sub! 
     
    
   
   
    
     But. them he heard ~ the newly- formed History 
     
     Society, ° 
     
    
   
   
    
     And decided to give ita try; 
     
     He was hooked after one meetin, As you would he too
