School Song
The "School Song" was written by H. O'Reilly Clint in the late 1920s. It is traditional for each class to compete in singing the School Song at the first pep rally in the fall, although this traditional has fallen off in recent years.
The lyrics are as follows:
- "De La Salle, we’re rooting for you,
- De La Salle, oh can’t you see,
- Everyone of us is for you,
- We’ll cheer you on to victory.
- Rah! Rah!
- To the Gold and to the Purple,
- We will pledge our loyalty,
- And may years add but fame
- To that grand old name.
- De La Salle! De La Salle!"
