Circled round by mighty mountains<br>Breathed upon by healing balm,<br>Mirrored in the flowing river,<br>Blessed by nature's soothing calm.<br>Stands our dear old Alma Mater<br>Crowned with honor, crowned with love<br>Crowned by all her children loyal<br>True to her all else above.<br><br>Day by day we seek her shelter,<br>Open minds and hearts aflame<br>While we seek for truths eternal<br>Through the ages still the same.<br>Here we learn to face the future<br>And the problems we may meet,<br>And we gain the power to conquer,<br>Snatching victory from defeat.<br><br>When the twilight shadows gather,<br>And the day is nearly done<br>While our idle fancies hover,<br>O'er the paths our feet have won,<br>As an exile, homeward turning<br>Will our longing memories fly<br>To the years in dear old High School<br>And the friends of days gone by.
