Alma Mater and Fight Song
Alma Mater [Words by Patricia Genchi]
Normandy, thy light will guide us To our goal of wisdom high
Ever through our years of learning
Quest for truth shall never die.
As we hold our colors higher
Banner proud we wave for thee
Dear Orange and White lead on through life
Our loyalty shall ever be.Notes and references
