Abbeville Alma Mater help

I've got a friend, an older retired disabled Vietnam War vet who lives up in Michigan. His Dad graduated from Abbeville and this is what he asked on FB: "A family friend, Exxxx Duhon, from Lafayette, LA, sent me this picture from an old Abbeville HS Year Book. It is the Alma Mater song for Abbeville High written back in the 50's by a family friend, Henry Cary, and my dad, Bob Choiniere. They didn't get either name right in the yearbook. I would love to find someone who has the music so I can hear it played and sung. " ALMA MATER - Among the oaks and cypress, Where Vermillion Bayou flows, There stands our Alma Mater, dear, Where lasting friendship grows, Although we leave you, Through the years, Our hearts are always thine, Abbeville, Abbeville, Alma Mater mine." If anyone can assist I'd appreciate it.

My roommate at LSU in the 60s was from Abbeville. She would entertain those of us from North Louisiana by singing the alma mater with a Cajun twist. I can sing it, but have a terrible voice and would prefer not to do so. However, there is a video of most of it being sung after a football game. The students now insert a chant in between the two “Abbevilles”, which the
Alumni feel is disrespectful. Go to Abbeville High Alumni Song...You Tube. Hope this helps!

Why would you want to hear that sung? Most alma mater songs suck.
