Far above the noisy bustling
of our busy town,
Framed against the arch of Heaven,
Proudly she looks down.
Lift the chorus, speed it onward.
Loud her praises cry;
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,
Hail all hail, Grove High.

THIS  ALMA  MATER   IN  USE  BY  1964.

THANKS  TO  JUDY  VEAZEY  HOOPER ('59)  AND  LINDELL  CHRISMAN ('61)
FOR  ORIGINALLY  PROVIDING  THIS  LATER  VERSION.
LINDELL SAYS,   " I got the words out of my student handbook that
I received when I started to Grove as a freshman and that was 1958."

Unfurl the banners of devotion,
Seal'd by friendship's tie;
With hearts united in Grove High School,
That will never die.
Alma Mater, Alma Mater,
You will ever be.
We pledge our loyalty to thee,
Through the passing years.

THIS  ALMA  MATER   IN  USE  BY  1942.

THANKS  TO  DAVID   W.  WEBB  FOR  PROVIDING  THIS  EARLIER   VERSION.
