THE BATTALION.
A is for Altgelt, as short as you please;
He says he admires the brave Japanese.
B comes next and it stands for Bauer;
In the Dutchman’s club he shines as a flower.
B also stands for our little Bernay.
He has enough grit to be a man some day.
B stands for Benjamin, our mighty left guard.
He plays a fine game and never gets tired.
B comes again, this time for Blake.
Of honors this year a few he did take.
B now is for Burns, who plays in the band.
He holds down the flute. O ! I say, it is grand.

Few men are as handsome but, of course some are
smarter.
C stands for Cochran, the next on the list.
He says he’s sixteen and never been kissed.
C is for Clonts, a great man is he,
He edits the “Bat” at the A. & M.. C.
C stands for Cooas, our fine ladies’ man.
At all social stunts he does what he can.

When he graduates here he will do the school honor.

Not white from age, but from toil and from care.
