(Cheer focused on the school's emphasis as a liberal arts institution, on the classics with its use of the Latin "Hoc" and "Haec".)
In the 1930s, that cheer became…
Brackety-ackety-ack!
Brackety-ackety-ack!
Hullabaloo! Hullabaloo!
How-do-you-do?
How do you do?
Roanoke!
Clap your hands (clap, clap)
Stomp your feet (stomp, stomp)
Snap your fingers (snap, snap)
'Cause Roanoke can't be beat!
M-(clap)-A-R-(clap)-O-O-(clap)-N-S!
We're tough, we're mean
That's why we call it the
MAROON MACHINE!
We are the best,
We are the best,
We are the best,
Roanoke is the best,
Hey-hey! The best!
YES!
