Our Alma Mater glorious.
With loving hearts and ^roud,
We crown thee all victorious
And sing thy praise aloud.
In loyalty we serve thee
And strive to heed thy call.
Mount Vernon, 0, Mount Vernonl
Through self to conquer all.
You give unfailing kindness
If trouble meets us here;
You foster all our i^leasures
And make them seem more dear.

Nor time, nor care,
nor sorrow
Can these fair days erase.
But they, with each tomorrow
Help us new tasks to face.
Ill
Like Breath of Spring's fresh morning
That lifts the hearts to song,
When courage droop and wavers
And paths seem gray and long.
Will come thy dauntless spirit
To help us on the way.
Mount Vernon, O, Mount Vernonl
Hold fast thy tender sway.

The changing years may hring us
Some longed for dream of hliss,
Yet memory will cherish
A sympathy we miss.
In hours or of joy sadness,
Whate'er our need may he.
Mount Vernon, O, Mount Vernon
Thy children turn to thee.
