“ The Elders” doing some traditional cheers in a Powwow.
The battle for supremacy in the old NCAA has always included San Beda in the equation. The 1920s, 1930s, 1950s and the 1970s saw the greatest battles fought by Red Lions under the Red and White banner. It was during these historic campaigns that battle cheers, songs and chants were developed and nourished. During this Golden Era of the NCAA, San Beda’s cheering tradition was forged in blood, sweat and tears. To date, San Beda continue to remain a traditional cheering school. Not a surprise since stability and continuity are Benedictine values taught to Bedans of different generations.
The books presented here came from the Crispulo Zamora era of the 1950s. The Zamora cup was the most coveted crown during the post-war NCAA. San Beda retired the Cup in 1955.
