Late Surge

In a sudden surge last night, and a series of about 24 emails back and forth between Ms. Zaryski and me, I finished the alma mater. When I look at it, I am so proud. These became the final lyrics, and honestly, I was making changes right up to the very last second, so don't feel ripped off that you haven't gotten to see some of these yet.

Verse:

Far beneath the pathways of Cornell

And the college high upon South Hill

There lies a school in Ithaca

Where the youngest minds are filled                       

Verse:

With inspiring words and knowledge

Innovation, creativity

So much to learn from Ithaca

Education is our creed.

B Section: 

Our Ithaca, our Ithaca

Diverse, yet unified       

Our Ithaca, our Ithaca                  

We stand and sing with pride

Verse:

For our love of friendships made here

And of dreams we've yet to see unfold

Our hearts belong to Ithaca

The future still untold

Coda:

We will always love our Ithaca

The home of red and gold!

I am in love with this. Today we will sing for the very first time, Our Ithaca, the Ithaca High School Alma Mater.
