[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 sore and sad.
So fight, fight, for dear old Glendale!
Make a home run 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, yah!

All praises to thee, O Glendale High,
To you our voices raise.
Your high ideals make strong your name,
Throughout the world no school can claim
more right to honor, glory, fame
Thank you, O Glendale High.
