RON SONGS AND CI-IEERS Rip the Lightning Rip the lightning from the clouds And with it light our Way. Bend its flaming back and let it To our rhythm sway. Let the torrents steady beat Mark the time for tramping feet, Drown out the thunder's roar And, supreme, let our voices soar. Never cower Set the earth a-thrill With the power Of our team until Victorious, we stand together. Give a Cheer Oh, we'll give a cheer For the Rons are here, Full of pep and vigor so fine. With joyous song We march along Swinging together in line. Every heart beats true On the Ron Team crew, And for highest honors we'll Vie As to the fray To win the day The Ron Team marches by. Oh, sing with exultation, Loudly and long, Teammates and comrades, Join in cheer and song, And as we march together All striving on, We will reach Victory, Fighting for Ron! Had a little rooster, Sat him on the fence. Crowed for the Ron Team, Had some sense! Sing Sweet and Low Sing sweet and low Our farewell ode To silvery pines and clear, translucent lake, To joyous days and friendships that We make. Au revoir To beauty rare. Memories of this summer gay Will live forever in our hearts Through the years your praise we'll sing When at the fork of life we part. So au revoir to Camp Rondack. Song to Camp Oh, land of lakes and azure skies a- glowing, Where woods of birch and pine are green always, With mountains high and waters blue a-flowing, We come to thee our tribute to pay. Your daughters true, our praise to you bestowing, May you endure, Oh, Rondack, for aye. Roar, Ron Girls, Roar Roar. Ron girls, roar, Your Alma Mater on the Schroon Lake shore, Praise our dear Ron Team evermore While the girls of all the campus rally 'round The Ron Team! Oh, Ron Team! shouting her name forever. Roar, Ron girls, roar. Your Alma Mater on the Schroon Lake shore.
