Stand up and cheer boys, a song for Wilmington
Soon the foe we're meeting, true to you our hearts are beating;
We'll never fear boys, we're loyal every one,
we'll win the game and laud the name of dear old Wilmington.

[a fight song for Quakers]

Padre, who played midfield @ Wilmington College

And then there's:

Let's give a rah for West Virginia
And let us pledge to her anew,
Others may be black or crimson,
but for us it's Gold and Blue.
Let all our troubles be forgotten,
Let college spirit rule,
We'll join and give our loyal efforts
For the good of our old school.

It's West Virginia, It's West Virginia
The Pride of every Mountaineer.
Come on you old grads, join with us young lads,
It's West Virginia now we cheer!
Now is the time, boys, to make a big noise
No matter what the people say,
For there is naught to fear; the gang's all here,
So hail to West Virginia, Hail!

Padre, who ran cross country (and never had the fight song sung for the xcountry team)
