THE FIGHT SONG
(from "The Nugget" 1954-55 student handbook)
THE FIGHTING FORTY-NINERS
We're the Forty-Niners
Our Colors Way Up High Will Shine
Down the Field, We'll Never Yield
Like Men of '49 We'll Fight On
We're the Forty-Niners
Our Foe Will Know He's In a Fight
And Just Like the Days of Old...
We'll Fight, Brown and Gold!
"The current Fight Song music is derived from the Trio to the World War One-era march, "Solid Men to the Front", by John Phillip Souza. I'm not sure if these words go with that song, but I posted them here anyway for historical purposes."

THE ALMA MATER
Alma Mater, Hail to Thee
And we Pledge our Loyalty
To the College of our Choice
Thee we Serve with Hand and Voice
Now and in the Future Bright
Citadel of Truth and Right
Honor, Glory and Renown
All are Thine, Dear Gold and Brown
