Motto - "Push on, keep a-moving"

Flower - Daisy Colors - Gold and White

Yell:

Rica chicka boom, rica chicka boom,
Rica chika, Rica chicka boom, boom, boom!
Chic, chic, chic! Chow, chow, chow,
Seniors! Seniors! Row! Row! Row!

Three cheers! We're safely through at last
And every one of us has passed,
There's Cleda, Fannie, Vida, Mary,
And Allie and Chester and Turk and Harry
And the other Marys -- dark and light
And the president, Clara (she's all right).
Next comes Warren, Gardner, Claude,
Candace, Lois, Florence and Laud.
Four years we've spent in getting here.
And as Commencement time draws near
We're glad our High School work is done.
We're glad that all the toil and fun
Are soon to end, and yet we know
Not one of us will be glad to go;
For school days are the best of all,
And when the school bell rings next fall,
There'll not be one but will confess
He longs to be back in O.H.S.
