We will own our color 's splendor And the honors of old, While St. Marys stands defender Of the Purple and the Gold. SONG Through the four long years of High School 'Midst scenes we love so well, As the mystic charms of knowledge We vainly seek to spell, Or we win athletic victories And the football line we hold, Still we work for dear old High School, And the Purgle and the Gold.
