[edit] Fight Song
Fight on, oh Vikings, for our fame.
Fight on to victory.
We hold your colors blue and gold
On high for all to see.
Fight! Fight!
Fight on, oh Vikings brave and bold.
Your honor will be told.
Forever more we sing to thee,
Oh, navy blue and gold!
[edit] Alma Mater
Lamar High School, we love you,
Your light shines ever true;
It shows the way to follow
Great gold and navy blue.
We pledge our faith forever,
Our Vikings fail us never;
Lamar, our Alma Mater,
Forever more.
