TILE BATTALION. 39 G is for Glover, who did something rash, When he cut off his beautiful auburn mustache. G is for Greenwood, but he is well seasoned, And if you’d know more just ask him the reason. II is for Harrison, looks nice and neat, But doesn’t he feel bad when he looks at his feet. II is for Homanu, he’s fond of his horn, And blows it and toots it at early morn. I is ice tea, a good friend at table, And the boys drink as much of it as they are able. J is for Josh, and J is for jokes, Which the boys will play on all kinds of folks. K is for Kerr, who sings a fine bass, In debate and study he’ll give you a race. L is for Love, ’tis meant for us all, Good for the fat and lean, the short and the tall. 31 is for Martin, fond of fine flavored cake, But he will not admit that he made a mistake. N is for Newton, cunning and arch, How happy he was when he led the grand march. () is for Oliver and oranges too, The boys love to eat them when dinner is through. P is for Pool, where we swim and have fun, And also get clean when our day’s work is done. Q is for Quarreling, also quinine, Which “Doc” loves to give as if it were wine. R is for Robson, who gave up his place For the title of sergeant and a little gold lace. R is for Rawlins, a captain and tooter, And in foot ball he’s the very best rooter. R is for Rountree, ’though not like his name, lie’s square in his dealings, and always the same. S is for Smith, of him we are proud, Looks well in dress parade, tho’ his voice is so loud. S is for Scherer, a good fellow you know, But he is fond of having two strings to his bow.
