Here is a trivia question for everyone. What is the name of the song that provides the tune for our alma mater? And no, it really has nothing to do with the great Elvis Pressley, sorry. Email me your answer, if you know.
Guarded by the old oak tree, Symbol of our goal.
Steadfast as our pride in thee, Its strength will write our scroll.
Fayetteville-Manlius Truth shall be thy light.
Pledge we now our loyalty To colors Green and White!
Raise we now our voice in song, To thee a tribute bring.
Join the ever-growing throng, Let all who love thee sing!
Fayetteville-Manlius Truth shall be thy light.
Pledge we now our loyalty To colors Green and White

The F-M High School yearbook was named the "Oak Leaves" as a result of Cal's work. He was awarded the 1961 "Teacher of the Year" award.
