Pictorial Memories of Muskogee
When we Were Growing Up

East Siders: Remember wearing your maroon-and-gold?

"Maroon and Gold", written by Tony Goetz
who also wrote "Spirit of Central High."

Maroon and gold, we give to you
Our pledge of faith and courage true
Where'er we go, what'er we do
Alice Robertson, we're proud of you.
Then let us give a mighty cheer
For hearts so true and friends so dear.
We'll never find, wher'er we are
A better school than our AR.

Version 1

Here's to West High School, and we know,
that it is the best, so let's say so.
Sing her praises loudly so that all may hear,
hold your head up proudly, we have none to fear.
For West High, the best High, is our High School

Version 2

We're loyal to you WEST HIGH
To your colors we're true WEST HIGH
We'll back you to stand; you're the best in the land
'Cause we think you grand WEST HIGH

So follow the ball WEST HIGH
We're cheering you on WEST HIGH
Our team is the best protector
On boys for we expect a victory
For you WEST HIGH
