Alma Mater

by John P. Graham

O Tech, thy halls so beautiful,
Thy pleasant walks, thy noble trees,
That charmed me in my college days,
Are ever dear to me.

Louisiana Tech I love thee,
My Alma Mater, My Alma Mater,
I will ever loyal be
To thee, my Alma Mater.

Those old Tech days, those joyful days,
So cherished in my memory,
Though days of toil, in many ways
Were happy days and free.

Fight Song

by James Alvey Smith

Fight! Fight! Fight! For ole red and blue!
Show your might and we'll root for you!

Get on your toes when you meet your foes,
And don't let them break through!

TECH! TECH! TECH!

Hit those lines like good ole canines!
Break through for a touchdown or two!

Hold up your chin and let's all go in
To win for the red and blue!
