Gaudeamus Igitur

Had to look it up ...

Let us rejoice, therefore,
While we are young.
After a pleasant youth
After a troubling old age
The earth will have us.

Well, I'm still at the rejoicing stage! Old age or not.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Gaudeamus Igitur is also the song used at almost every graduation ceremony ("commencement"). I'm sure everyone here has heard it at one time or another. Here's a version on youtube.

Gaudeamus Igitur is a far removed from The Gentle Giant, all his people, and the "grads" of Ballou High School, as east is from west, as north is from south, and heaven is from hell.
