Senior: "Why is the Normal Band the most appropriate adjunct of the Normal School?"
Band Teacher: "Give it up."
Senior: "The function of the Normal is to develop tutors!"

Leroy Marek here doth lie,
Near the sweet by and by.

Old Brady Magers liven in a shoe;
He had so many on the football team
He didn't know what to do
So he shut his eyes and took his pick
And drew a team that no one could lick!

Coach Brady Magers' efforts 1923
