First Flight New Student Week 2011

Otterbein Love Song Celia Ihrig Grabill and Glen Grant Grabill In a quiet peaceful village there is one we love so true, She ever gives a welcome to her friends both old and new. She stands serene mid tree tops green, She s our dear Otterbein. (Chorus) Old Otterbein our college, we sing of thee today; Our memories round thee linger, in a sweet and mystic way. O Otterbein, we love thee, our hearts are only thine, We pledge anew, we will be true, dear Otterbein. Her halls have their own message of truth and hope and love; She guides her youths and maidens to the life that looks above. Her stately tower speaks naught but power, For our dear Otterbein. 2 First Flight
