      First RSD Alumni Song

 

                All hail to Rochester Today!

                They children are greeting thee.

                With grateful hearts to thee we pledge

                Our love and loyalty.

 

                No matter what the years may bring,

                We will forget thee never - -

                But, while we live we’ll honor give

                To our Alma Mater, ever!

 

                                                (chorus)

 

                O Rochester, dear Rochester,

                Our Alma Mater, ever!

                Our songs of praise to thee we’ll raise - -

                Our RSD forever!

 

                Since we as a band of brothers joined,

                Sterling worth may proudly claim,

                We know that we shall laurels win

                Honoring Rochester’s name.

                Triumphant may we ever be,

                Success crowning endeavor - -

                So raise the song, sing loud and long,

                The Rochester School forever!

 

                                                (chorus)

 

                O Rochester, dear Rochester,

                We will forget thee never,

                But in our hearts sweet memories

                Shall live and flourish ever.

 

                                           By Albert C. Asper, 1907
