"Alaskas Flag" was written by Marie Drake, a long-time employee of the Alaska Department of Education and set to music composed by Elinor Dusenbury. The Territorial Legislature adopted Alaskas Flag as Alaskas official song in 1955. Our Song Lyrics: Eight stars of gold on a field of blue, Alaskas flag, may it mean to you, The blue of the sea, the evening sky, The mountain lakes and the flowers nearby, The gold of the early sourdoughs dreams, The precious gold of the hills and streams, The brilliant stars in the northern sky, The "Bear," the "Dipper," and shining high, The great North Star with its steady light, Oer land and sea a beacon bright, Alaskas flag to Alaskans dear, The simple flag of a last frontier.
