RUTH HINNERS ALMA MATER OF SOUTH SIDE HIGH SCHOOL
(Tune "Palisades"]
Above our school the tower standing,
The symbol of our comradeship;
Below the victories and failures-
We'll meet them with good sportsmanship 1
Through all a calm and peace pervading,
A mixture of our joy and pride.
May South Side ever lead us onwardAll
hail to our South Side!
o South Side, shall our songs forever
Be raised in joyous praise to thee
And though far from thee we may wander,
Our thoughts shall ever of thee be.
Through all life's happiness and sorrow
Our hearts to thee shall e'er be true;
Devoted to our Alma Mater
And to our Red and Blue 1
