I don't know who wrote the Alma Mater words, although I probably have it on music - I've never thrown any music away and have a huge file of now "vintage" music - but I don't have time to search for it to enter Sara's contest.
I have another memory though, that nobody has mentioned. The McDonald's on 17th Street must have been one of the first to be opened when the chain went national. I remember that they had a sign saying how many burgers they had served. I think it started in the tens of thousands, progressed to the hundreds of thousands and into the millions while we were at THS. Like Richard, I didn't eat there often, but I do remember the sign. It really gave us a glimpse into the power of franchising back then. Remember the Doghouse? Possibly a victim of the franchise mania -it went through several lives as a restaurant, but is now student apartments (maybe condos). Remember the first Hardee's with the 15-cent burgers? Or was that a Kelly's. On University Ave near where the Baptist Student building now stands.
