Saker Anthems

Official Anthem

On the twenty-ninth of January
in nineteen sixty-two,
thirty-six Cameroonian youngsters
were led to saker hill;
their nervous trepidation
became a joyful thrill
in the hearts of these first comers
a joy that warms them still.

The Baptist Girls Secondary School
was the first name for our school;
The West Cameroon Christian College
was the name that followed next;
Today Saker Baptist College
is the name our college bears,
for God's love to the Cameroons
Alfred Saker strove to bear.

Geography and mathematics
are subjects we employ,
Domestic Science and physics
are others we enjoy;
English language and History,
Music to praise the Lord,
Literature , Bible, Chemistry,
French language for abroad.

With the power of God almighty
we'll try to face the world;
For unity and sisterhood
the Saker students strive;
Be you coastal, midland, upland
we Saker Girls are one;
with the help of our tutors we'll strive,
and the battle will be won.

Salvation, Oh Salvation
S.B.C. girls proclaim
for in our jubilation,
all tribal rights disclaim.

Unofficial Anthem

Up by the brook of Likomba,
Is found the Newtown Hill,
Where the green trees all have opened,
A habitation for young Cameroonian
nation builders.

Chorus:
SAKER (Baptist College)
SAKER (Baptist College)
Is the college of our Pride
We praise God for our school.

Founded by the Baptist Mission
To raise our Christian womanhood
As a dynamic force for the cause
Of God and righteousness in the home,
The church, and everywhere…

Chorus

Helped by the power of God Almighty
The school is striving on
Giving help to all the world around
In music, morals that all may see
And give God the glory . . .

Chorus (twice)
