Giselle Knight kindly recalled for me our Class of 1986 alma mater written by the brilliant Gaby Whiteman (Gaby, WHERE ARE YOU?!?!)

TO THE TUNE OF VILLA MONTEMAR, here's our special version. Do you remember, ladies?:

Set on a hill over Hooper's drugstore
Mountain and sea afar
Built on a love of food and much more
stands Cookie Monstemar
though years may pass other cares a bringing
and you may not be near
turn back your thoughts your hearts are singing
to those memories dear
so sing to Cookie Monstemar
on cookies he does feast
sing once more to Cookie Monster
our favorite blue skinned beast
with your shoulders back and heads up high
and a cookie in your mouth
stand and cheer '86
for the monster without ticks
with a blue, navy, aqua!
