Nostalgia: School Songs Etc

OK - in response to requests...help remember the school songs

"Fight team fight for dear old Ladue
To our colors we will be true
We've got the team and we've got the pep
We've got the school that's always in step (rah rah rah)
Ever onward to victory
Faithful always to thee
Here's to the white and here's to the blue
of our dear old Ladue."

*****************************
C for Conway, that's our school,
O for Outstanding, that's our goal,
N for neatness which pulls us through, and
W for work, that's important, too.
A for answers we will surely know, and
Y for "yea", a cheer that will go
C-O-N-W-A-Y, CONWAY!
*****************************
We welcome you to Spoede School,
We're mighty glad you're here,
We'll send the air reverberating,
With a mighty cheer, RA! RA!
We want to share,
We know you care,
The learning happens everywhere,
Come catch the Spoede spirit,
Welcome to Spoede School!
