The Original Douglass Alma Mater
Lyrics by Mrs. Geraldine Sims
I
Douglass School’s a place we always like to dwell,
To us it has grown very, very dear.
We love it more than any words can ever tell,
We’ll always sing her praises far and near.
II
Douglass, Douglass our dear beloved school.
To you we’ll always be loyal and true.
It was here we learned to keep the golden rule,
Each year our love for Douglass deeper grew.
III
Though we may roam afar in after years.
And whatever may our lot betide.
We will remember lessons we have learned here,
And ever think of Douglass School with love and pride.
Chorus
Oh how our hearts beat and begin to fill with joy,
When ‘er this campus comes within our view.
This spot is cheris’d by every Douglass girl and boy,
When we hear her name it thrills us through and through.
The New Alma Mater
Lyrics and Music by Dr. Omar Robinson, Jr.
I
Alma Mater, we love thee dear, with our hearts and souls.
Your name is to me, the best there could be, setting our hearts aglow.
II
Our teachers dear, we will always love, as the years go by, Giving us the torch to light the way, never, never shall die.
III
Great school of mine, may you ever shine, till eternity.
May the sisterhood and the brotherhood, always live w ith thee.
Chorus
Dear Ole Douglass High, the maroon and white we love.
Dear Ole Douglass High, you’ll always reign above.
Though the years may pass, your portals will ever stand,
Dear Ole Douglass High!
