The Alma Mater
In the state of Carolina,
Near the mountains blue,
Stately stands a noble structure
With a spirit true.
CHORUS:
Lift your voices
Shout your praises
Over hill and dale.
Here's to thee, our Alma Mater.
Hail thee, Greer High, Hail!
Now and when we have departed
From her halls afar,
May her truths and lofty ideals
Be our guiding star.
Set to the song Above Cayuga's Waters.

Famous quotes containing the words the alma:
“There is no calm philosophy of life here, such as you might put at the end of the Almanac, to hang over the farmer’s hearth,—how men shall live in these winter, in these summer days. No philosophy, properly speaking, of love, or friendship, or religion, or politics, or education, or nature, or spirit; perhaps a nearer approach to a philosophy of kingship, and of the place of the literary man, than of anything else.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
