Songs of The W – Student Life

ALMA MATER

Serene as the dawning
Your promise now unfolds
To new heights of wisdom
Proclaiming truth foretold
With courage undaunted
Honor the challenge,
Guiding your purpose bold.
Sing praise to our great Alma Mater,
Oh, sing and cherish your mem’ries forever.
Profound our allegiance;
Secure our belief in God.
This creed of our heritage
Illumines the path untrod.

HAIL TO THEE

Oh, hail to thee, oh, hail to thee,
Mississippi State so fair,
Thy loyal daughters sing to thee,
Our college beyond compare,
Oh, hail to thee, oh, hail to thee,
Thy name an emblem of light.
We rally to thee, to the yellow and white.

(Repeat from first)

The spirit of our M.S.C. is one of loyalty
And true fidelity.
It is the spirit of our glorious name
That gives our college its spread of fame.
The spirit of our M.S.C. is one of loyalty
And true fidelity.
We raise our voice to you with all our hearts.
Sing Sis-A- Boom!
Sis-A- Boom!
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Here’s to our uniform of blue,
Here’s to our friends so staunch and true
And to the faculty and president so wise.
Our hearts’ allegiance never dies.

Here’s to our ivy-covered walls
Chapel and academic hall

and to the golden days
That we have spent with thee,
Our dear old M.S.C.
MI-double-SI-double-SI-double-PI,
MI-double-SI-double-SI-double-PI,
ST-ST-S-T-A-T-E-State.

Here’s to our uniform of blue,
Here’s to our friends so staunch and true
And to the faculty and president so wise.
Our hearts’ allegiance never dies.
Here’s to our ivy-covered walls
Chapel and academic hall
And to the golden days
That we have spent with thee,
Our dear old M.S.C.

MAGNOLIA CHAIN SONG

To you, college comrades,
Dear friends of our youth,
We tell of our love in our song
Though distance may part us,
Our hearts will enshrine
Mem’ries of days that are gone.
Chain of magnolias we carry today,
Emblem of hopes and of fears.
Its flowers may perish, its petals may fall,
But it binds us to you through the years.

FRIENDS

We were strangers for such a long time
But now we’re friends till the end of time.
Our hearts were joined together
By the mighty bonds of love
The bonds of love.

We met one September.
I’ll always remember
The tears we’ve shed here
The joys we’ve shared here
And as we leave here,
May we always be friends,
Always be friends.
God bless my friends.
Good-bye, my friends.

CLASS SONGS

Freshmen Class Song

We are the freshmen
Oh, the freshmen are we
We’re razzed by the seniors
‘Cause we’re green as can be.
We know we’re the best that can be
‘Cause now we’re members of M.S.C.
We’re sorry for the Seniors
‘Cause it’s their last year
Oh, say by golly, we’re glad we’re here
Four more years for us
We’ll be the best or bust!
Darn it all, we’re glad we are
The Freshman Class!

Sophomore Class Song

Hey, Hey Sophomores!
We’re the best you know.
Hey, Hey Sophomores,
Get hep and let us go —
Got the Spirit—
Got just what it takes —
We’re not behind the eight ball.
We’re playing for high stakes.

Junior Class Song

We are the Juniors of M.S.C.
We’re out to win another victory
We’ve got the spirit
You can’t surpass
We are the dear old Junior Class.

Senior Class Song

Hail, Senior Spirit!
Our class stands highest.
Four years we’ve been here,
Now we’re the finest.
First we were freshmen,
Sophomores and juniors.
We are on top now —
Hail to the Senior Class!
