Oh White and Blue, We Honor You...

NORTH HIGH SAXONS ALMA MATER¹

Oh² White and Blue, we honor you
And want the world to see
How hand in hand and proud we stand
For all eternity.
We'll do or die for our North High
Of that you can be sure.
Let others know, and rightly so
Our hearts are strong and pure.

NORTH HIGH SAXON FIGHT SONG³

The Chorus:

Shout out our name boys⁴, Saxons are we
Ready for action, strong as can be
With our colors flying high
Never give up boys⁴, do or die.
Sun-up until the end of the day
You'll always find us leading the way
Always loyal to our Saxons
Fighting for victory.

The Verses: (Sung Together!)

Fight for the men of old North High⁵
With our banners Blue and White.
We will wipe out all the rest
and keep them out of sight (Fight! Fight! Fight!)

South High's team will be routed
losing all their fame
And when they start to yell
It's time to "treat em' well"
And declare our perfect game.

The Ending:

N...O...R...T...H...
N. O. R. T. H. North High!

Trivia:

1) Alma Mater –noun

1. a school, college, or university at which one has studied and, usually, from which one has graduated.

2. the official anthem of a school, college, or university.

[Origin: < L: nourishing (i.e., dear) mother]

2) The Alma Mater did not originally begin with the word "Oh" but that was a tune-up sound (Hummm...) which students spontaneously changed to "Oh"

3) The Fight Song Music is the "Notre Dame Victory March"

The Notre Dame Victory March Chorus Music is used by hundreds of High Schools for their fight song, is not copyrighted, and is in public domain.

4) Fight Song chorus line one and four, at the height of the politically correct speech era, "boys" was sometimes sang "now". This is usually rejected by Saxon Alumni.

5) Fight Song verse one, "old North High" was sometimes sang "ol' North Torrance" - However the verses are both rarely sung.
