THE BATTALION.
M stands for a man who has a fine voice.
C. Otto Moser, the man of your choice.
P stands for a man of military shape,
And he has a good face; that's Gustave Pape.
P stands for Peden, who we all hope will grow,
For, while at the Mess Hall, he has learned how to crow.
P stands for an athlete, of full-back fame,
Also a brilliant student. Pirie is his name.
P stands for a man who played on our line.
Good old “Pa” Pucket, we all think he’s fine.
R comes only once. That’s enough all the same,
It here stands for Rubenpoenig, how’s that for a name.
S stands for Stallcup, who rooms in South End;
A plodding old fellow, a faithful old friend.
S is now for our illustrious Stapp,
To charm a fair maid, he thin s is a snap.
S is for Stinson, who always looks tired,
For he’s a big member of the famous rear guard.
T comes but once, for the love-sick Tom Tarver.
If he marries the girl, I am sure he will starv’er.
V is for Vick, last but not least,
A lion among ladies, but not really a beast.
