50th anniversary Gala in 1988. More recently it was brought back by the Fifth Grade Chorus at the 2010 Maimonides Gala. It is sung to "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was written by Ralph Tucker, an English teacher in the early years of the school. The following text is taken from the 1965 yearbook. Praise to thee our alma mater;Hail to thee Maimonides;Homage at this time we pay theeWhom we laud for all of these: For the wisdom of the Torah,For our training secular,For the light of learning shiningBright before us like a star. Guide us in our way of living;Teach us as the torch we seizeValues true and everlasting,Hail to thee, Maimonides. In addition, there is a Hebrew version of the song: תהילה לבית ספרנו הברכה לישיבה לך לנצח חיבתנו לרמב"ם התהילה תמורת חכמה ודעת תורה, תמורת לימודים כלליים כנוגה נוצץ אורה אנו תודה לך מביעים. הדריכנו בחיינו ובידינו אבוקה לך לנצח חיבתנו לרמב"ם התפארה.
