How fair is the far spreading vale of the Doon,
In clear sparkling sunshine or darkling monsoon,
But the spot we love best of the beauty spots there,
Is St. Joseph's the pride of the valley so fair.
She calls us to loyalty, honour, and truth,
To wear Joseph's lily bright blameless youth.
And e'en to old age may her lessons remain,
To live our lives bravely and die without stain.
Let our voices ring out o'er the Doon's verdant vale,
In a jubilant shout, as we tell the proud tale,
Of the name and the fame of the best school of all
Of our dear Alma mater, and answer her call.
So Academicians in work and in play,
You'll swiftly and happily pass each glad day,
Of the years bright and brief that will end all to soon,
In St. Joseph's the pearl of the vale of the Doon.

I remember my school so much and feel so proud to have passed out from here, I owe a lot to Brother Dominic our principal then, Mr. Bajaj who was always there as a friend and guide, Mrs. Y. Lal, Mr. Adhikari and all my teachers who have had a major role in guiding me for what I am today. I take pride in saying that I am a Josephite. | ||||
