Traditions - Do You Remember?

School Colors:

Red and Black

School Mascot: The Dove

Symbolizing the Western lady, the dove stands above the crowd by being dignified, unique, poised and beautiful.

School Motto

Lucem accepimus, lucem demus.

(We have received light, let us give forth light.)

Loyalty song

Let our voices blend together

In the presence of Western High;

Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior,

Our spirit will not die.

Your traditions of truth and honor,

Of loyalty and right,

Are the ideals you have given

To each Westernite

Western's faculty and students

Pledged to work in harmony,

To make us worthy leaders

Of our community.

Her achievements have been proven

By her colors flying high.

The red and black waves proudly

O'er Western High


Chorus:

To you, Western High School

We pledge our faith and loyalty, To serve your name in love and honor

And to follow your standards faithfully,

For e'er we'll remember you motto so true;

We've received light, let us give light - 

A lesson well learned from you.



Dear Western - written in 1913

Dear Western, we greet thee with songs of thy praise

And with hopes that unchanged may be,

That forever in safety each ship thou wilt guide

O'er the tempest of destiny's sea,

May thy colors for aye wave proudly on high,

May thy name e'er be linked unto fame;

For we've loved thee, now love thee, and ever shall love

And ever shall love thy name.
