ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

Both are seniors in high school.

A honor roll student multiple times at Curtis,
Locure will major in pharmacy at Xavier.
Ewell, who attends The Roeper School in Birmingham, Mich.,
is a TennisRecruiting.net three-star prospect ranked 12th in Michigan
and 53rd in the Great Lakes region. A veteran of USTA regional and national
events since age 11, Ewell won two singles matches and two doubles matches to
help her Southeast Michigan team finish second in the 2011 Marian Wood Baird Cup.
Ewell, whose career goal is to become a veterinarian,
has played flute in jazz and concert bands at Roeper since fifth grade. She also
won an award for a children's book she published at age 12, and she organized a Christmas 2010 drive
