COUGAR

THE

FIGHT

SONG

Cougars fight for dear old U of H For our Alma Mater cheer. Fight for Houston University For victory is near. When the going gets so rough and tough We never worry cause we got the stuff. So fight, fight, fight for red and white And we will go to victory. Lyrics: Forest Fountain Music: Marion Ford

THE

ALMA

MATER

All hail to thee, Our Houston University. Our hearts fill with gladness When we think of thee. We’ll always adore thee Dear old varsity. And to thy memory cherished, True we’ll ever be. Words and music by Harmony Class of 1942
