THIS IS THE STORY OF A MAN NAMED WILLIAM SHIRLEY WILLIAMS.
HE LIVED IN TENNESSEE UNTIL, AS A YOUNG MAN, HE DECIDED TO
VENTURE WEST. HE ENDED UP SETTLING AMONGST SOME INDIANS
IN WYOMING AND BECAME WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED BY THEM.
HE WAS GIVEN AN INDIAN NAME BY THEM WHICH SPOKE OF HIS
MOST DISTINGUISHING PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC: HIS FLAMING
RED HAIR. EVENTUALLY, BECAUSE HE HAD BECOME SO ADEPT IN
THE WESTERN WILDERNESS, HE WAS SOUGHT AFTER AS A GUIDE BY
OTHER WHITE MEN AND MOVED TO DAKOTA TERRITORIES. HE WAS
EVEN SAID TO HAVE AIDED THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION OF
1804-1806. ONE DAY, WHILE LEADING A GROUP OF WHITE
EXPLORERS, AN INDIAN ATTACK LED TO HIS DEATH. WHEN THE
INDIANS CAME UPON THE DEAD MEN TO SCALP THEM, ONE OF THEM
RECOGNIZED THE FACE OF THEIR OLD FRIEND, WILLIAM SHIRLEY
WILLIAMS. BY THIS TIME HIS HAIR HAD TURNED GRAY, SO HE
WAS NOT EASILY RECOGNIZABLE AT A DISTANCE. THE INDIANS
FELT SO SORRY TO HAVE KILLED THE MAN WHOM THEY HAD KNOWN
AND LIVED WITH THAT THEY GAVE HIM A CHIEFTAIN'S BURIAL.

Submitter comment: THIS STORY WAS DISCOVERED BY A RELATIVE OF MINE WHO WAS
RESEARCHING OUR FAMILY HISTORY. IT WAS TOLD TO HIM BY
PEOPLE IN A TOWN HE WAS VISITING THAT HAS A STATUE OF
WILLIAM SHIRLEY WILLIAMS STANDING IN THE MAIN PART OF
TOWN. THE LEGEND IS COMMONLY TOLD IN THE TOWN. WILLIAM
SHIRLEY WILLIAMS IS BELIEVED TO BE A RELATIVE OF THE
ROGER WILLIAMS WHO CAME TO AMERICA ON THE MAYFLOWER AND
EMIGRATED FROM WALES WITH HIS BROTHERS IN THE 18TH
CENTURY. HE IS A DISTANT RELATIVE OF MINE.

TALE WITH MORAL

GOOBERDINKS LIVE ON DINNER TABLES. THEY HAVE WHOLE CITIES BUT YOU
CAN'T SEE THEM. YOU CAN PUT DISHES ON THE TABLE AND SINCE THEY SEE
THEM COMING THEY MOVE OUT OF THE WAY--MOVING WHOLE CITIES. BUT THEY
DON'T SEE ELBOWS. IF YOU PUT YOUR ELBOWS ON THE TABLE YOU SMASH
WHOLE CITIES OF GOOBERDINKS. YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE YOUR ELBOWS ON THE
TABLE SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE GOOBERDINKS INTO YOUR CUPPED HANDS AND
RESUSCITATE THEM. THEN YOU BLOW THEM INTO THE KITCHEN WHERE THEY
LAND IN THE SUGAR BOWL AND REVIVE. THE MORAL IS--DON'T PUT YOUR
ELBOWS ON THE TABLE.

Submitter comment: MARIE FIRST HEARD THE STORY AT GIRL SCOUT CAMP LINDEN IN LINDEN,
MICHIGAN IN 1971. SHE SAID THAT WHEN YOU'RE AT CAMP LINDEN YOU
BELIEVE IN GOOBERDINKS. YOU TRY NOT TO PUT YOUR ELBOWS ON THE TABLE
AND IF YOU DO, YOU HAVE TO REVIVE THE GOOBERDINKS.

TITANIC SONG

VERSE 1:
THEY BUILT THE SHIP TITANIC
TO SAIL THE OCEAN BLUE
AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SHIP
THAT THE WATER COULDN'T GO THROUGH
IT WAS ON ITS MAIDEN TRIP
WHEN AN ICEBERG HIT THE SHIP
IT WAS SAD WHEN THE GREAT SHIP WENT DOWN
REFRAIN:
OH, IT WAS SAD, IT WAS SAD
IT WAS SAD WHEN THE GREAT SHIP WENT DOWN
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE--
HUSBANDS AND WIVES, LITTLE KIDDIES LOST THEIR LIVES
IT WAS SAD WHEN THE GREAT SHIP WENT DOWN
VERSE 2:
THEY WERE NOT FAR FROM ENGLAND
THEY WERE NOT FAR FROM SHORE
WHEN THE RICH REFUSED
TO ASSOCIATE WITH THE POOR
SO THEY PUT THEM DOWN BELOW
WHERE THEY'D BE THE FIRST TO GO
IT WAS SAD WHEN THE GREAT SHIP WENT DOWN
REPEAT REFRAIN
VERSE 3:
THEY THREW THE LIFEBOATS OVER
INTO THE FOAMING SEA
AND THE BAND STRUCK UP
"NEAR MY GOD TO THEE"
LITTLE KIDDIES SCREAMED AND CRIED
BUT THEY ALL WENT DOWN AND DIED
IT WAS SAD WHEN THE GREAT SHIP WENT DOWN
REPEAT REFRAIN

Submitter comment: I LEARNED THIS SONG ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO IN SOLON, OHIO AT ST. RITA'S
SUMMER BIBLE SCHOOL. IT WAS FOR CATHOLIC CHILDREN FROM KINDERGARTEN
TO FIFTH GRADE. FR. ED DIETRICH, ONE OF THE PARISH PRIESTS, TAUGHT
US THIS SONG. THE KIDS ALL LOVED IT FOR SOME REASON AND WOULD LAUGH
AND GIGGLE ALL THROUGH IT WHICH SEEMED IRONICALLY HILARIOUS. I HAVE
NO IDEA WHERE FR. DIETRICH LEARNED THE SONG BUT IT REMAINS ONE OF MY
FAVORITES.

IT OFF BY PUTTING IT IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN FOR FIFTEEN SECONDS. AND
IT EXPLODED.

Submitter comment: JULIE BELIEVED THIS STORY THE FIRST TIME SHE HEARD IT IN MIDLAND,
MICHIGAN IN 1976. WHEN SHE HEARD IT AGAIN SHE BEGAN TO WONDER ABOUT
THE TRUTH OF IT. SHE'S HEARD IT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN, IN MIDLAND
AND AT UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT. NOW SHE DOESN'T REALLY BELIEVE IT,
SAYING THAT IT MIGHT BE TRUE BUT SHE THINKS IT'S JUST A STORY. WHEN
WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS MY SISTER, CAROL DURAND, MENTIONED HEARING
THE SAME STORY AT UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT INVOLVING A DUMB WOMAN FROM
GROSSE POINTE AND HER PET POODLE. SHE ALSO BELIEVED IT THE FIRST
TIME BUT AFTER HEARING IT FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE, QUESTIONED THE TRUTH

THE FIRST PERIOD OF TRAINING FOR THE JESUITS IS CALLED
THE "NOVITIATE." THE "FIRST PROBATION" IS HELD DURING THE
FIRST WEEK OF THE NOVITIATE. THE NEW MEN ARE ENTIRELY
EXCLUDED FROM ANY CONTACT WITH THE REGULAR JESUITS. THEY
EAT AT SEPARATE TABLES IN THE DINING ROOM, HAVE SEPARATE
PLACES IN CHAPEL, ETC. ONLY THREE JESUITS (CALLED
"GUARDIAN ANGELS") HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH THEM, ALONG WITH
THE MASTER OF NOVICES. AFTER THIS FIRST WEEK OF INTENSIVE
TRAINING IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE SOCIETY AND THE
PARTICULARS OF LIFE IN THE JESUIT ORDER AND THE HOUSE,
AND INTENSIVE SPIRITUAL TRAINING, THE MEN ARE ALLOWED
"FUSION"--CONTACT WITH OTHER JESUITS. THE LAST DAY
OF THIS FIRST PROBATION IS "CASSOCK DAY"--THE DAY WHEN
THE NEW MEN RECEIVE THEIR CASSOCKS. THIS DAY IS A
SURPRISE FOR THE NEW MEN, ALTHOUGH ALL OTHER MEMBERS
OF THE COMMUNITY ARE AWARE OF IT. DURING ONE OF THE
REGULAR CLASSES THAT THE NEW MEN ARE ENGAGED IN (USUALLY
AT NIGHT), MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY STORM INTO THE
CLASSROOM CARRYING THE NEW CASSOCKS. USUALLY THERE IS
MUCH YELLING AND GENERALLY A PARTY-LIKE ATMOSPHERE.
EACH NEW MAN IS SHOWN HOW TO PUT ON THE CASSOCK, HOW IT
IS TO BE WORN, ETC. AFTER THIS, THERE IS A MASS IN
WHICH THE CASSOCKS ARE BLESSED. THIS IS USUALLY
FOLLOWED BY A LARGE PARTY, WHICH OFFICIALLY WELCOMES
THE NEW MEN INTO THE JESUIT ORDER. THE CASSOCKS ARE
NEW TO THE MEN RECEIVING THEM. ACTUALLY, THEY ARE
GENERALLY QUITE OLD, SOMETIMES BELONGING TO JESUITS
WHO HAVE DIED. ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY USUALLY
WRITE "CASSOCK-DAY NOTES" TO EACH OF THE NEW MEN,
WELCOMING HIM INTO THE COMMUNITY AND THE ORDER. THESE
NOTES ARE OFTEN QUITE FUNNY, AND SOMETIMES INCLUDE SOME
HUMOROUS REMARKS ABOUT THE LIFE OF CELIBACY.

HAND-CLAPPING RHYME

THE RHYME IS AS FOLLOWS:
A SAILOR WENT TO SEA, SEA, SEA
TO SEE WHAT HE COULD SEE, SEE, SEE
BUT ALL THAT HE COULD SEE, SEE, SEE
WAS THE BOTTOM OF THE DEEP BLUE SEA, SEA, SEA
A SAILOR WENT TO CHOP, CHOP, CHOP
TO SEE WHAT HE COULD CHOP, CHOP, CHOP
BUT ALL THAT HE COULD CHOP, CHOP, CHOP

TO SEE WHAT HE COULD SEE, CHOP, KNEE, TOE
BUT ALL THAT HE COULD SEE, CHOP, KNEE, TOE
WAS THE BOTTOM OF THE DEEP BLUE SEE, CHOP, KNEE, TOE MM
TWO PEOPLE STAND OR SIT FACING EACH OTHER. FIRST EACH WOULD SLAP
THEIR HANDS ON THEIR KNEES PALMS DOWNWARD, THEN CLAP THEIR HANDS.
THEIR RIGHT HANDS WOULD MEET DIAGONALLY WITH PALMS TOGETHER. EACH
WOULD CLAP THEIR OWN HANDS THEN THEIR LEFT HANDS WOULD MEET. THIS
WOULD BE FOLLOWED BY A GESTURE APPROPRIATE TO THE LINE OF THE VERSE.
THIS SEQUENCE OF ACTIONS IS REPEATED FOR EACH LINE OF THE RHYME. THE
GESTURE FOR THE FIRST VERSE IS TO SHADE THE EYES WITH ONE HAND THREE
TIMES IN A ROW, FOR THE SECOND VERSE ONE HAND MAKES A CHOPPING MOTION
THREE TIMES ON THE BENT ELBOW OF THE OTHER ARM, FOR THE THIRD VERSE
YOU TAP YOUR KNEE THREE TIMES, FOR THE FOURTH YOU TOUCH YOUR TOE
THREE TIMES AND FOR THE FIFTH YOU DO EACH OF THE FOUR ACTIONS ONCE
IN A ROW.

Submitter comment: I LEARNED THIS AS A CHILD AND USED IT TO PASS TIME. ONE VARIANT WAS
TO SPEED UP THE VERSES AND THE GESTURES WITH EACH VERSE. IF THERE
WERE MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE, YOU COULD ALL STAND OR SIT IN A CIRCLE.
INSTEAD OF CLAPPING RIGHT HANDS OR LEFT HANDS, YOU WOULD CLAP YOUR
RIGHT HAND WITH THE PERSON ON YOUR RIGHT AND AT THE SAME TIME CLAP
YOUR LEFT HAND WITH THE PERSON ON YOUR LEFT. MY SISTER'S ROOMMATE,
SUSIE HAKIM OF SOUTHFIELD INTRODUCED ME TO ANOTHER VERSE WHICH SHE
RECITED BETWEEN THE SECOND AND THIRD VERSES OF MY VERSION. IT WAS
ACCOMPANIED BY HOLDING YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HIPS AND MOVING YOUR HIPS
FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE WORDS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
A SAILOR WENT TO SHE-BOP, SHE-BOP
TO SEE WHAT HE COULD SHE-BOP, SHE-BOP
BUT ALL THAT HE COULD SHE-BOP, SHE-BOP
WAS THE BOTTOM OF THE DEEP BLUE SHE-BOP, SHE-BOP
