Blue Eagle, the King: New College Cheer The "BLUE EAGLE"(not FDR's New Deal inspiration) Ateneo's newest cheer song hit is taking the school campus by storm. Composed by "Rah Rah Ace" Manglapus last vacation, it will come very handy when the Blue Babble Battalion takes the stand once more against rival cheering sections in the coming NCAA Basketball Series. Audition Considered the last word among locally composed cheer songs, it was given an audition before Fr. Rector, Fr. Keane, Fr. O'Beirne, and Fr. Dowd for the Faculty's approval last June 22 in the Auditorium. With the composer on the "panama," the "jumping jacks" on hand to help, a score of Sophomore A.B. boys led by A.B.A. Solis and bass Jhocson sang the new song. It was heartily applauded by the Fathers present and the Fr. Rector was very much pleased with the new battle song. FIGHT!! The "BLUE EAGLE" together with the Hail, Ateneo, Hail, the Cheer, Cheer and Go, the Rhumba Yell, and other Blue and White inspiring songs and yells will inspire the Blue Eagles to dare and do. There will be only five members of the team on the court at a time--but they will soar aloft on the cheering of Ateneo's one thousand and nine hundred lusty throats.--Guidon: Vol. XI, no. 1, 30JUN39, p.5&7. |
