ALMA MATER Where the hills of old Muskingum Greet the eastern sky, Stands our dear old Alma Mater Throned in majesty. CHORUS From her walls still echo footsteps Of the great in fame, All who tread thy halls, so stately Ever love thy name. Sing her praises, never ceasing We shall ever cry, Thee we honor, Alma Mater Honor Philo High. LIFE’S FOUNDATION This life of ours is like building a house A house of materials strong The foundation we build must be firm The size matters not-—whether short or long But the materials we use must be of the best Maybe brick or clay or wood or stone Something that will last through the years Something that won’t leave you all alone When the going is rough and the times are hard You know not where to turn You’ll have a house to go to If you’ve built it strong and firm And so it is with life today And the life of all our tomorrows We must build a foundation strong Have joys for remembrance, not sorrows Our teachers and parents have helped us thus far But now we are on our own What will we make of this life on earth Will we stand all alone So with the help of God And of a foundation strong I say to you fellow classmates God bless you, good luck, and so long.
