Following the initiation ceremony, and to round out the evening, the Potter Chorus was reconvened under the able direction of Milan Krchniak, `53.  A stirring rendition of the Potter Song was sung by the chorus with everyone present following along.
        
You can sing the song again by going to the Potter Song link on the home page.  There you will find the words, the sheet music, and the song played by a computerized piano.  Enjoy!
