[edit] Fight Song

Fight Song Fight Cards, Fight! For dear old Glendale We know you will not fail, Show -- what we're here for And make them sad and sore. So fight, fight, for dear old Glendale! Make a touchdown and some more! Keep on piling up that score for dear old Glendale High.

An older version of the fight song, used in the 1960s, went like this: Hoorah for Glendale / Hoorah for Glendale / Someone in the crowd is yelling, "Hoorah, for Glendale!" / 1, 2, 3, 4, who we gonna yell for? Glendale, that's who, rah, rah, rah!

It still stirs the blood!
