ALMA MATER

O Morris High our Alma Mater,
For glory and for fame
We strive by all uniting,
To raise our voice in proud acclaim.
We honor and uphold thy standard,
Linked firm in bonds of white and blue;
We'll think of you, our Alma Mater,
To you we'll all be true.

We love the fair name of Morris,
Which long has stood without a stain.
here we work for Alma Mater,
To guard her honor is our aim
Your sons and daughters ever praise thee
As from your friendly halls they go,
And oft in memory they recall
Their schooldays long ago.
