I understand that not every Notre Dame student has as much school spirit as me. I’m sure I was in the minority of students who spent their precious summer time before their first college semester studying up on the history of Notre Dame football and memorizing the fight song.
Although, in my defense, the Zahm House Red Book — the introductory “manual” that the Zahm Welcome Weekend committee would send to all incoming students — said that there were three “Songs to Permanently Engrain in Your Memory”: “Notre Dame, Our Mother” (the Alma Mater), the Victory March, and “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede.
