Patty Wicken gets us straight on the Rouser

Patty Wicken, who started this discussion on the rouser, writes:

Stan:
Thanks for printing the Cardinal Rouser information received from John Herdan. Last week we were talking about the rouser on KXRA when Alexandria legend Bud Kolstad (of Kolstad Clothing fame) called to say the words were written by Bill Anderson from the Class of '33. That same day, a woman from Glenwood (Alex graduate) called to say that the words were written by a music professor who taught in Alex. He is now ninety years old and she called him to verify before she called Open Line!

Will we ever know?????


ALEXANDRIA ROUSER

Cheer oh cheer for Alex
Shout 'til rafters ring
We're gonna yell-oh-yell for our team
Alexandria, rah-rah-rah!

Never give up hope boys
Fight until we win
Always looking onward,
Doing the best we can.

We can beat old _______________
As we've done before
And we can help our team by yelling
Alexandria, rah-rah-rah

Fight for dear old Alex,
And we'll win this game
And we will carry on forever
Dear old Alex name!
