THE MAROON AND WHITE SCHOOL SONG Under the direction of the Music Department, the Maroon and White Staff of 1922, conducted a contest which gave to the school its first school song. Cora Whitlock was awarded first prize for the words, to which Mr. Rapp composed the music. Both music and words are original and in no way resemble any other piece of music. The Glee Club published the song. I. The great schools of all nations Have their colors and their signg And heart thrills are awakened As their banners fall in line. So the Belleville Township High School Has its colors true and brightg And loyal hearts sing praises Of the dear Maroon and White II. Four years we serve our colors, Get our lessons hard and long. Four years we cheer our labors With a gay and cheerful song. Back our athletes in their stuggles, As they strive with all their might, For the honor and the glory Of the dear Maroon and White. III. These years will soon be over, And in life we'll take our wayg There prove the truths here taught us, Strength imparts for every day. Though heads may tint with silver, Hearts will always thrill at sight Of a banner, ribbon, pennant, Bearing old Maroon and White. Page Eight
