Mother Recounts Son’s Years In Aggieland
T
MRS. N. H. BAILEY
Beaumont A&M Mother’s Club
1965
When I was first an Aggie
Mom—’way back in ’52
I packed my little cherub’s
things and shed a tear or two
And all this time I wondered
why he was so aglow
And I, his poor Mother, was
feeling Oh! so low!
Then off they went to Aggie
land, one happy as the other—
“Don’t fret, my pet” his father
says, “you still have little broth
er.”
When we arrived at half-past
ten in front of Walton Hall
I gasped when he came walking
out—for he looked ten feet tall!
Was it the crisp creased Khaki
or the brightly shining brass—
Or was it another milestone
that I myself had passed?
For my once tow-headed boy
had really grown up fast—
And now, I must admit he was
a man at last!
I never heard such giggles
when he removed his hat—
They came from little brother
from over where he sat.
I gasped myself, I tell you, I
really was appalled,
For they’d cut his hair so short
that he was almost bald!
Yes, things were quite exciting
when my son was just a Fish
For he made Phi Eta Sigma and
the Dean’s distingiushed list!
And, by mid-term his Sopho
more year, he’d added another
star—
And that was when his Dad
agreed that he could have a car!
By the time he was a Junior,
he’d met and pinned a pretty lass
And I knew with this extra
curricular, he’d not wind up head
of his class!
For if I wasn’t going there—I
was coming from!
My funniest experience was
when I got calls from eight—
They wondered since I was
coming if I could bring their
dates!
Though I never had a daugh
ter, young girls I just adore—
I had them on the seats and
even on the floor.
We had planned to meet the
boys on the campus at North Gate
And I felt a little worried, for
I could see that we were late
And the girls would have to
dress—for the dance began at
eight.
As we turned the car to enter,
there stood my David all alone—
Where were all the excited
voices that I had heard on the
’phone ?
Oh!. They’ll all be over later
when you’re settled in this private
home.
The room, he said, was handy—
it was just across the street—
Should I want to take a stroll
or get a bite to eat.
But what he didn’t tell me was
that it was two flights up
And that all eight girls had one
bed, and I’d share the kitchen
with a pup!
It seemed that all his buddies
were a little short of cash
If they rented the girls a room,
then they couldn’t buy them hash!
I’ll tell you that next morning,
I was broke more ways than
one—
From that cot there in the
kitchen, and my dear most gen
erous son!
The climax of my story, and
I’m sure you’ll all agree
Was when he was commissioned
and awarded his Degree.
There was no time to tarry on
the campus that next day—
For the girl he’d pinned—he
married — and he took her far
away.
