The Watchword is Kazoo

So it appears that Judy has made her selection to attend Kalamazoo college. Kzoo was one of her first choices and she was also offered an really good academic scholarship. I was very impressed with the personal attention they gave Judy in the acceptance letter in which the admissions committee lauded specific academic and extracurricular achievements of hers. I think it will be a very good experience for her. Below is a nice winter evening scene of the Kzoo campus and below is the Kzoo school song.

Kalamazoo Alma Mater

O, Kalamazoo, our faithful friend,
We offer thee a song,
To praise the home where friendships blend
and weld so true and strong.
O, sacred refuge and most hallowed place,
Where hope and joy renew,
With tight'ning grip and bright'ning face
That speak thy love, Kazoo.


When these dear scenes are left behind
No fortune can subdue
The chords of love that closely bind
Our hearts to thee, Kazoo.
Each tree upon thy fair Arcadian hill
Is dear to us for aye.
Dark storms may come, cold blasts may chill
But friendship e'er will stay

When age has decked our heads with white
And youth has ceased to glow,
We'll revel in one sweet delight
The times of long ago.
O then, Kazoo, shall beauties of the past
Enrich our souls anew,
And while our earthly vigils last,
The watchword is Kazoo.
