Alma Mater and Fight Song

by Richard N. Russ ’60 + Warren G. Hullinghorst ’60
Franklin High, our Alma Mater, In they honour now we stand
Thanking thee for all the knowledge, Gained beneath they guiding hand.
Thou hast helped us; Thou has taught us; And inspired us in ev’ry way;
And with kindness has thou wrought us, Worthy students of our day.
Franklin High our Alma Mater, Unto thee our voices rise;
Thou has shown us paths of virtue, Guided us with counsel wise.
All they precepts, all thy teachings Long will live and long prevail;
Ne’er in life will we forget thee, Franklin, Alma Mater, Hail!

New Orchestration by Ellis Jeff
Franklin High, our Alma Mater, In your honor now we stand
Thanking you for all the knowledge, Gained beneath your guiding hand.
You have helped us; You have taught us; And inspired us in ev’ry way;
And with kindness you have shaped us, Worthy students of our day.

Franklin High, our Alma Mater, In they honor now we stand.
Having learned a wealth of knowledge, We leave to guide our troubled
land.
Honesty and truth you’ve taught us, Respect for others’ rights and
views.
To Franklin High our Alma Mater, We remain forever true.
As we travel life's long highways, We will find we’ve been prepared.
And as time begins to pass us, We’ll recognize that we’ve prevailed.
Through the trials and tribulations, We shall succeed and will not fail.
You’ve taught us trust and perseverance, Franklin, Alma Mater, Hail! |

Fight Song
Let’s give a
hike, hike, hike for Franklin, Our Alma Mater dear to all.
Let’s give a rah, rah, rah for Franklin, No matter if we stand or fall.
Colors bright, orange, green and white, Falcons we’re with you
Win or lose, let your cheers ring out.
So lift your voices, yell for Franklin, Sing her praises on high. |
