"Be True to Your School" is a song by The Beach Boys. The album version of this song was recorded on Monday, September 2, 1963. It appears on Little Deuce Coupe and Endless Summer. The song features the University of Wisconsin's fight song "On Wisconsin." However, it's most likely a tribute to Hawthorne High School, whose school fight song uses the same melody as "On Wisconsin," as briefly explained by Al Jardine in the documentary The Beach Boys: An American Band. (1984) The Wilson brothers and Beach Boy Al Jardine attended that school. The song was written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love (as established by Mike's lawsuit gaining rights to several co-written songs of the 1960s), and was first recorded on Session 1 of the recording of their 1964 album Little Deuce Coupe. On that day, they recorded "Ballad of Ole' Betsy", a cute melody about a classic car, co-written by Brian Wilson and former DJ Roger Christian, automobile ballads "Car Crazy Cutie" and "Cherry, Cherry Coupe", "Spirit of America", "No-Go Showboat" and "A Young Man is Gone".
