“On Wisconsin” is 100 years old
(Thank You Dan Hoisington for bringing this to my attention.
Dan had a Senior Moment - he thought this was the Paradise Fight Song. :)
However, I took him at his word and published everything about "On Wisconsin" :(

Millard sang the first line and the last line.
Dan Hoisington filled in the rest - except he forgot part of it.
Janette Angel Ross filled in the two lines before the end.

According to Judy (Hutchison) Tomei . . .
"If I remember correctly, the Paradise Fight Song was sung to the tune of the Notre Dame Victory March.
I think we changed the first line when I was in high school to
"Come on you Pirates, go out and win."
Judy (Hutchison) Tomei Class of 1971"

The "Notre Dame Victory March" is the fight song for the University of Notre Dame. It was written by two brothers who were Notre Dame graduates. The Rev. Michael J. Shea, a 1904 graduate, wrote the music, and his brother, John F. Shea, who earned degrees in 1906 and 1908, wrote the original lyrics.
The lyrics were revised in the 1920s, it first appeared under the copyright of the University of Notre Dame in 1928.
The chorus of the song is one of the most recognizable collegiate fight songs in the United States, and was ranked first among fight songs by Northern Illinois University Professor William Studwell, who remarked it was "more borrowed, more famous and, frankly, you just hear it more."
