Flashes Fight Song

We're going to fight for our Alma Mater

For Aloysius, purple and gold,

We're going to shout 'til the skies resound it;

We're going to back up our warriors bold.

The Purple Flashes are our heroes;

They are the men who never say die.

So while the whole gang is here

Let's stand up and cheer

For Aloysius High!
