28. Not bad at all...
The superintendent who "wrote" our school song was a grad of the University of Wisconsin, so our school song was "On St. Maries."

St. Maries is pronounced "St. Mary's."

Just change the word "Wisconsin" everywhere it appears to "St. Maries" and you've got it.

The fun part about going to St. Maries High School was that there was a St. Mary's high school in Spokane--the Catholic kind--so when some Spokane kid demanded to know which school you went to (mainly because you wouldn't support his school by purchasing their candy bars), the name of your school struck fear into the heart of the lad. It turned out St. Mary's had a boxing team.
