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:
“Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go;
He followed her to school one day—
That was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.”
—Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
“She sang a song that sounds like life; I mean it was sad. Délira knew no other types of songs. She didn’t sing loud, and the song had no words. It was sung with closed lips and it stayed down in one’s throat.... Life is what taught them, these Negresses, to sing as if they were choking back sobs. It is a song that always ends with a beginning anew because this song is the picture of misery, and tell me, does misery ever end?”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
