Alma Mater
by Philip Mook - Class of `49
Hail to this, our Alma Mater, hail to Brandon High As the eagle soars to greatness, 'neath its wings we fly.
Many you have led to greatness, through your halls so bright, Many others still are striving to attain this height.
Many too have heard the summons to the home above; As they backward look upon you they recall your love.
As your progress is recorded, your fame will never die Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail to Brandon High.
