(1940-1950)
Alma Mater, be our guide,
Though we venture from thy side.
Love and loyalty we bear,
Shame and sorrow we shall share.
We must leave the Blue and Gray,
In the world wear colors new.
But may our motto with us always stay,
"Sursum Quae Sursam Quaerite."

(1951-1993)
As we hail thee, Alma Mater,
St. James High School Blue and Gray,
We are mindful of thy motto,
"Quae Sursum Quaerite."
Blue and Gray, Blue and Gray,
Our faith and hope renew.
For when life seems gray,
We humbly pray,
And look up and see the blue.
