Fight Song: Cardinal Loyalty
Sung to the melody of "Illinois Loyalty"
We're loyal to you CHS,We're fighting for you CHS,We'll back you to stand against the best in the landFor we know you have sand CHS - Rah, Rah,So smash the blockade, CHS,Go dashing ahead CHS,Our team is our main protector,On boys, for we expect a victory from you CHS.Fling out the dear old flag, the red and the white,For you we'll always fight with all our might.And when our team goes out there ready to fight,We'll yell for our high school, Os-kee-wa-wa!We have a school that's quite the best in the land,For honest learning and for labor we stand,And unto you we pledge our heart and hand,Dear CHS, we're all for you. FIGHT!!
"Loyalty" by John Keeslar
I am over 100 years oldI am red and whiteI have known thousands of young men and womenlike youI am loyaltyI am the reason your hearts beat a little fasterwhen the band strikes up my songI am the reason a lump comes to your throat whenthe team takes the field, court or diamondI am the ringing of the victory bellI am pep assembliesI am the 6th man in the winter, the 12th man in the fall,the 10th man in the springI walk the halls of Coldwater HighI have seen the good times and the badI was there in 1930, I was there in 1949,I was there in 1973, I was there in 1976I have seen my sons and daughters go to greatuniversities, to work, to warI remember the greatest names and the least of myflocks of loyal cardinalsI have wonI have lost butI have never been ashamedI have stood with the giantsin the pastI stand with you todayI am yours, you are mineI am the cardinal spirit.
