Editor’s Note: Mr. Scheibe is well-known on the LA campus for his signing “snow day” declarations. However, today “Head mixMaster Grande” delivered “a little Winterim jam – Five Ranks.”

Hello LA,
Here’s to a great, if slightly delayed start to Winterim. It’s an amazing time of year, and great thanks to all of those who have put such effort into organizing, inspiring, and trouble-shooting, particularly Tony Hawgood and Tanya Clark!
Speaking of slight delays, the 2-hour kind we experienced this season haven’t really delivered enough mojo for a proper snow-day song tribute, so it’s all been saved up from the Winter to be unleashed on Winterim.
Here’s 3 minutes worth:
Disclaimers:
- We do not have any active engagement with either “tuba” or “Cuba” this year, but they make a sick rhyme
Unfortunately , the beats didn’t have sufficient endurance to make it to the all-important final line, which is, for the record: “use the correct level of SPF”- Recording is not meant to be mistaken for actual “music,” so all apologies to the estate of Ariana Grande
Enjoy the days,
Dan Scheibe
The lyrics are below:
Five Ranks
Yo, even the sketchiest weather conditions
Won’t interfere with our Winterim visions
No matter what Mother Nature will bring
These are a few of our Winterim things
Potter and Margraf will catch us some fishes
Quilting makes beautiful patterns with stitches
We go to Galapagos on airplane wings
These are a few of our Winterim Things
Play chess, learn scuba
Make your own tuba
Belize, DR
Or even Cuba
You like my chair,
Gee thanks just built it
I got some help
From Mister Matt Smith
First choice, I got it
Second choice, she got it
Third choice he got it
Fourth choice they got it
You like my boat,
Gee thanks, just built it
Fifth choice, OK
You got this, you got this
It’s a tradition in our Spartan Nation
Experiential LA education
We know before we start it will be all good
Cause it is led by Sir Anthony Hawgood
Seasonal affect can make you a sad guy
Yoga and martial arts make you a jedi
Faculty leaders create clever schemes
These are the pairs that I see in my dreams
There’s Fos
And Ryan
Raquel and
Brian
There’s Smith
and Dawson
That will
Be Awesome
There’s Liu
and Brescia
Moseley
O’Connah
We’re get-
Tin human
With Bell
And Poulin
The Beard
and Igoe
But not
Morocco
Engstrom
Mordeno
Ruby
And K Po
You like
My vase
Gee thanks
Just fired it
In Clay and Kiln
McBride where’s Ms. Whit
Students acting like frequent fliers
Other schools are try-hard tryers
Passport my business card
Get back before it expires
I don’t mean to brag,
But Winterim’s got some swag
We lead the ISL
by doing Winterim well
What should I choose, Flip flops or boots
Wear proper footwear don’t try to be cute
Proper hydration and nutrients too
Guzzling Gatorade, water, or juice
Look at my neck, Look at my neck
Got a bad sun burn, but hey what the heck
That’s what you get, that’s what you get
Use the correct level of SPF

Best wishes for an amazing Winterim, everyone!
