The Purple and White 1913

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 02 May 2002

When Deering felt the duty to own
A flag, not for the beauty alone,
She took a color that her aim
And noble purpose bid her claim,
The purple of a kingly throne,
And zealous in endeavor to see
The Light of Truth
where ever it be,
The choice of White she quickly made
To place beside the Purple shade
And make a banner dear to me.

Be loyal to The Purple!
Be loyal to The White!
Emblem of the noble
And of Truth and Right.
Bear your colors proudly,
And raise them to the sky;
conquer by the might
of The Purple and White,
For the honor of Deering High.

On field and plain none braver can try
To make the foeman waver and fly
For many heroes we have sent
Abroad upon this continent,
To battle for the Deering High.
In ev'ry competition of brain,
Our thorough erudition is plain,
Deering spirit ever more!
Deering colors to the fore,
And lead us in the van again.

Be loyal to The Purple!
Be loyal to The White!
Emblem of the noble
And of Truth and Right.
Bear your colors proudly,
And raise them to the sky;
conquer by the might
of The Purple and White,
For the honor of Deering High.
