WHAT WAS OUR SCHOOL SONG?

I don't know about you, but I always thought "Mother Beloved" was our school song. A group us (fondly known for 50 years as The Club) were discussing it at breakfast a couple of months ago, and somehow there was another song mentioned. We did agree that "Mother Beloved" was sung at all occassions, even at school dances. Can you imagaine that happening at a high school dance now. On second thought, maybe it would make a good rap... but could you hip-hop to it????
If anyone can remember the other song, please comment and show us your superior memory. Till then, here are the words to "Mother Beloved."
Mother Beloved
Join your hands Loyal bands
While we pledge one another
Unity and fealty
To our Queen and our Mother
One our faith One our love
One our leader and Lord
One our aim one hope above
One united accord

Chorus
Mother beloved of God and of men
Here at your feet Faithful we meet
Comrades of Mary Redeemed by your Son
Keep us who love you In all things one

SOMETHING TO WEAR TO THE REUNION?

I recently received this e-mail from Mike Murray at Roger Bacon:
In the spring of 2007, permission was granted to the Business Outfitters division of Lands End to reproduce the OLA trademark logo for embroidered clothing sales. The OLA logo is now available to be embroidered at a nominal cost on a wide variety of clothing including shirts, knits, sweaters, outerwear and hats. To visit the OLA E-Store website, please click (or copy and paste into your browser) the following web address:

I can see it now: all of us coming into the Reunion wearing our sweaters with the OLA logo. Pretty cool - no, I mean spiffy - no, that's not right. What did we used to say when we thought something looked good? Oh, the memory is definitely going!
