School song

We praise thee alma mater/
A light throughout our days/
Inspiring us to greater goals/
Thy standards high we raise!

Thy royal blue and scarlet/
Unfurled in noblest pride/
We honor thee, dear Wolfson/
Our mentor, friend, and guide!
-- Created and introduced by The Key Club in Fall 1967
