The Marching Song of the F.S.W.C
In this happy, hilly country, there's [torn] all should love
'Tis our alma mater standing [torn] piney grove;
O'er her tours blue skies are feuding [torn] children rove
Where the cheerful sunlight falls

O'er her towers blue skies are feuding; on her slopes the sunlight falls;
And the glory of a promise lingers round her cherished walls.
Let us labor to fulfill it-'tis our alma mater calls, calling to her children dear."

With spirits brought, we're singing tonight
We are come with a right good cheer,
Our hearts aglow, our love to show
to our Alma Mater dear;
Long may she live, her blessing to give,
And long may she famous be;
And far and wide may we show our pride
In the F.S.W.C.

Chorus:
Then pledge her on and all together,
In a cup to the garnet and gold;
In fair or in stormy weather,
Our love shall never grow cold.
We'll sing her praise to every nation,
And wherever we may be,
We'll spread the fame and drink to the name of the F.S.W.C.
2:
Long may she bind, our Mothers so kind,
The hearts of her children true,
By love's own tie that ne'er shall die,
But shall live the long years thro';
May we, one and all, with love recall,
In the years that are to be
The mem'ry of the golden days
At the F.S.W.C--------------------------Chorus.

By William George Dodd, published by the Class of 1918.
