[edit] School Songs

The school has three songs. The first, the dedication, has the following lyrics;

"Majestic structure, thing of beauty, in a class you stand alone. You don't know just how we love you, for you're made of stone.
You're a monument to learning, and our hearts swell up with pride. As we stand and look you over, end to end and side to side.
May you send forth men and maidens worthy of the highest fame. Filled with knowledge and ambition, making for themselves a name.
May we ever do you honor, As we each go on our way. While all happy memories linger, till the closing of our day.''

The second song, the Alma Mater song, has the following lyrics;

"Hail Alma Mater, hats off to you. Ever you'll find us, loyal and true. Firm and undaunted, ever we'll be. Hail to the school we love, here's a toast to thee.''

The school also has a fight song. The words are:

"Sedville will shine tonight, Sedville will shine. Sedville will shine tonight, Sedville will shine. Sedville will shine tonight, Sedville will shine.
When the sun goes down and the moon comes up, Sedville oh, Sedville oh, Sedville will shine!"
