SONGS /
ALMA MATER
I.
Where the Slippery Rock Creek
wanders
With its sparkling falls,
There, in stately grace and beauty,
Stand old S. R. halls.

CHORUS
Sing her praises, loud resounding,
Speed them on their way;
We'll be true to thee, Oh, S. R.,
True for 1;1,ye and aye.
II.
All thy halls the day in dying,
Crowns with golden light,
And the morn in waking splendor
Greets thee in thy might.
III.
Long may you, our Alma Mater,
Shed your light abroad,
As your loyal sons and daughters
Live for you and God.
