Alma Mater

Norbra Hi to thee we all are loyal,
And may thy colors ever wave,
Over all the bravest and the truest,
Thy dear name from dishonor we shall save.

Oh, Norbra Hi: dear Norbra Hi,
Thy name shall ever loved and honored be,
Oh, Norbra Hi, dear Norbra Hi,
We'll always give honor to Thee.

When no more within thy walls we linger,
Still scenes shall dwell in memory dear,
When the cares of life have come to save us,
Thoughts of thee then shall fill our hearts with cheer.
