Alma Mater

(presented to DeSoto by the graduates of 1972)

Destined in your birth,

 to climb to heights supreme,

  Desoto, you have dared to move

  a step beyond man's dreams;

Now here we stand, your children,

  our wings about to try,

We'll take a step another step,

  then rise into the sky;

You are the strength of a hand in our hand

  as you guide us to our goal,

As you lead us to the path of our flight,

  you are the wings of our soul,

We pledge, dear Alma Mater,

  that we will stand as one,

The sons and daughters of DeSoto

  till we have reached our sun.

  (Words : Annetta T. Beauchamp)           (Music : Annetta T. Bearchamp and Mary Anne Roscopf)

Fight Song

Hail to the spirit of the Thunderbird!

Stand up and wave the red and blue!

For it's, hip hurray!

Come of you Thunderbirds

Pride of our hearts forever true!

So, fight to the finish mighty Thunderbirds

Hold on to win to victory

And ring out the bell for every Thunderbird

Into our hearts forever...

Shove 'em to the left shove 'em to the right,

LET'S GO T-BIRDS, FIGHT , FIGHT, FIGHT !

(Words and Music : Jack Myers)
