ALMA MATER

Gently Flows the Wide Missouri,

Searching for the sea.

Take me to my alma mater,

Where she waits for me.

Though I leave and ever wander,

This I know is true.

When I dream of old Missouri,

I'll remember you.

Loyal hearts to her returning,

faithful proud and true.

Missouri Western lives for ever,

We sing in praise of you.

The Victory Tree

After every home football victory, teammates, coaches, students, and fans gather around the Victory Tree to hear a post-game speech from the coach, followed by the Fight Song.

The picture to the left shows the Victory Tree that everyone gathers around after every home football victory.
