Nancy is credited with writing the beautiful and inspiring words for the South Pasadena High School Alma Mater.  Her classmate, Dick Buck, is credited with writing the music.

All hail, South Pasadena

Our Alma Mater strong,

We've come to pay you homage,

Emotion voiced in song.

 

We love you for your stateliness,

Your grace, portraying truth,

The spirit so intangible

Of love, and of life, and youth.

 

Long years will never mar you,

But only add to your charm;

Our hearts will shield your memory

And guard your name from harm.

 

So hail South Pasadena,

Fortress of inspiration; defender of ideals.

Where lasting friendship seeds are sown,

Bound fast with Tiger seals.
