ALMA MATEROF WEST VIRGINIA STATE COLLEGE

ERNEST WADE '30 ~ARTHA 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 never 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.
