Memories from Fr. Joseph Rivoire, SJ:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"E.<\/a>
E. L. Hohman Band Director 1942-1963<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mr. Elwood Hecker, SJ who came with the school in \u201942 was the first band moderator\/glee club director; working closely with Mr. Hohman they together produced the fight song\u2026\u201cWe\u2019ll sing hurrah for the blue and gold\u201d\u2026 and the Ranger Victory March (First Alma Mater).\u00a0 I have no memory of this alma mater.\u00a0 By my time it had disappeared, so Mr. T.L. Herlong–now Fr. Herlong–at my invitation came forth with a new Alma Mater whose closing words are: \u201cTo serve our fellow man with love, our country and our God, with faith & courage all our lives, in the path that Jesus trod.\u201d [see below] \u00a0Until \u201972 this was our Alma Mater when the present \u201cFreedom & brotherhood” replaced it\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Papers donated by Terry Bartley ’63 included this Alma Mater:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Jesuit Hight we proudly hail thee our fost’ring mother dear
\nLoyal sons we shall endeavor to keep thy teaching near
\nTo serve our fellow man with love, our country and our God
\nWith faith and courage all our life in the path Christ Jesus trod<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

David McGowan ’69 remembers that the school did not have an Alma Mater in 1967 when he arrived as a junior transfer student.\u00a0 When he returned to teach in 1990, the school was using the current Alma Mater:\u00a0 \u201cFreedom & brotherhood.”<\/p>\n

The 1988-89 Student Handbook includes the Alma Mater:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Freedom and Brotherhood,
\nService and Friendship;
\nDear Mother, help us to cherish your dream.
\nLead us to seek truth
\nAnd form us into your sons.
\nJesuit, implant in us
\nAll God’s love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
