S. L. 1. I. There in Louisiana ' s sweetest spot, as the Soutliern wind blows by, Stands our Alma Mater which we call S. L. I. I; Over which there hovers with outstretched wings a dove, Where friends may meet, where enemies forgive, and all is love. All the happy days of sport I rememher, as the years roll by. The cheering and the singing when they shout S. L. I. I. Work, 0 comrack ' s, do not fail, give your hearts as you go by; Draw your swords and stand l)y our deal- Old S. L. I. I. Not a sword of metal white, for slie needs another kind, Give a word, for it is nobler than the sword that kills mankind. Hold her flag unfurled witli pride, hold aloft her banner higli, On a field of red and white, shines the name S. J. I. I. Modesto Castillo, ' 20.
