A Bicentennial Campus-"where Excellence Is a Tradition"

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in airGave proof through the night that our flag was still there.Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

~lma jIflatttERNEST WADE '30 MARTHA SPENCER '31

There is a place we love so dear-Its name we'll ever praise and revere'Tis West Virginia State we love-Just one more step from there is Heav'n above.

REFRAIN:

West Virginia's praise we'll sing-Lift our voices 'till heavens ring--As we gaily march along-We'll sing a song-For Alma MaterHow we love herPride of all our loyal hearts-From her we will ever part-Thoughts of thee will ne'er be fewAlma Mater we love you.

We'll love her more as days go by,And send her praises to the sky;To place her over all the rest,And keep her e'er the dearest and the best.

Shadowed 'neath a deep blue sky;Is STATE for whom we'll live and we'll die-Arise! 0 men of God and sing;We're loyal, and to her we'll always cling.
