FIGHT FOR SANTA CLARA

"All hail to S.C.U.
Honor her prestige and fame,
Oh hold high her standards
As we go into the game."

Chorus:
"Varsity fight for Santa Clara
Banners of red and white on high
No matter how great your foeman,
Let our motto be "to do or die."
Rah! Rah! Varsity men,
We are cheering for you,
Our fighting heroes, sturdy, staunch and true
Remember the right and might of Red and White
When Santa Clara Warriors fight,
For Victory, and our dear old S.C.U."

"Then fight, fight! for the Alma Mater we love,
Oh fight; fight! And strength shall come from above,
We now acclaim your fame;
Rah! Rah! Rah!"

(Repeat Chorus)

ANTHEM

"Santa Clara! Alma Mater
Lo! our hearts are pledged to thee
El Dorado's first born daughter
Who beside the Western sea,
Where the palm and olive mingle,
Bade the torch of science burn;
When our footsteps bear us from thee
Back to thee our hearts we'll turn."

Chorus:
"This the Mission Bells are telling
As exultantly the ring,
"Santa Clara," "Santa Clara"
"Alma Mater," sweet they sing,
Where the palm and olive mingling
Proudly raise their heads on high
In the earliest fane of science
Built beneath our Western sky."

CHEER, CHEER, CHEER

"Cheer, Cheer, Cheer for the Broncos have the ball
Have no fear; they will not let it fall
And when they hit that line, there'll be no line at all
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight."
