[edit] Alma Mater

Alma Mater, praise to thee
From now to eternity
May your banner ever be
High above the rest

Through our laughter
And our tears
Through our triumphs
And our fears
Be our guide
Through future years
Old P.H.S.

(Words and music by H.P. Wadsworth - Class of 1922)

[edit] Traditions

Patterson practices a strong tradition at graduation. The junior class makes a cedar rope before graduation and the seniors carry it out into the ceremony. The rope is given to the Junior Class President to hold until next year. When they become seniors and graduate, pieces of the cedar rope are broken off and carried by each of the graduates into the ceremony.
