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!"

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or song:
“At school boys become gluttons and slovens, and, instead of cultivating domestic affections, very early rush into the libertinism which destroys the constitution before it is formed; hardening the heart as it weakens the understanding.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
