re: Do you know your high schools alma mater?

Don't really know if we ever had an alma mater. I don't recall ever hearing it if we did. But, I do know that our fight song was Jole Blon. It was played loud and proud on Friday nights while the old men in the stands held up their pints of brown liquor, lol. A different time for sure.

Sadly, Oberlin High School doesn't even have a band anymore. Another indication of a nearly dead school and community.

Yes. We sang it after every mass or when we all had to go in the gym for something. Still know it word for word 21 years after graduating.

I remember the band playing it at football games, but I couldn’t hum the tune now.

yeah, i'm a bit older but, i know quite a few people who went to Hannan. 3 of them brothers who all played football for Hannan.

Northshore High school.

Played football, of course I remember the alma mater

The fight song is the same music as Notre Dame too, lol.

lol I didn't know it while I was there much less now 18 years later

their last name started with a D.

No.

Alma mater praise to thee
From now to eternity
May your banner ever be
High above the reeeeeest

(Drums)

Through our laughter and our tears
Through our triumph and our fears
Be our guide through future years
