ALMA MATER



All praise to Alma Mater dear,

To friends whom we revere,

To teachers versed in all the arts,

To men who stirred our hearts,

To wisdom present in her halls,

To memories she recalls,

To faith we ever shall proclaim,

To our dear Holy Name.

 

Composed by......Jack T. Hearns, May 13,1937

 

FIGHT SONG



All Hail Holy Name!
With loyal hearts we proclaim.
That we will serve the green and white
Your spirit we know
Will lead us on as we go,
And guide our youthful steps aright.
And down through the years,
We will re-echo your cheers,
And through our efforts bring you fame.
For though it be our best
It's not too good for dear old Holy Name. 

The school is the thing,
Will be the motto we sing
Though it be triumph or defeat.
Let this be our aim
To win for you Holy Name
And lay our laurels at your feet.
Forever will be
A cry of clean victory
That will be heard throughout the fight,
For Holy Name will ever onward press
Beneath the green and white.

Composed by.... Kathleen Speilman Halicki. Class of '32
Music by........Elmer Synkula

 
 

School Motto

In the year 1926 our present school motto was adopted.  The SCHOOL'S THE THING appeared in the yearbook at that date.  The article which accompanied the motto was purposeful in its insistence that personal glory in any field of school activity means very little.

A spirit of united effort should always and ever motivate HOly Name students to further the honor and glory of their school , The school IS the thing, always!
 
 

School Seal

The Chi Rho incorporates the first two letters of the name of Christ in Greek characters (XP). The Holy Name High School seal consists of the Chi Rho encircled by the school identification. The seal is very appropriate as an official expression of the Holy Namer's desire to do all things in Christ, with Him and through Him.
 
 

School Symbol

The Green Wave originated in the early Twenties when it was first used to describe the perfect coordination of the Holy Name football team, which gave the appearance of a giant wave engulfing its opponents.  Still popular with the students, it suggest the enthusiasm with which it is hoped all Holy Name students will approach their problems.
