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 love thee, now love thee, and ever shall love,
And ever shall honor thy name.
For we love thee, now love thee, and ever shall love,
And ever shall honor thy name.
Rebekah Whalen, 1913
My friend
Juanita Moore, a member of the Western High School
Class of '95, provided me with the
music (piano, wave format, 1.2 MB) to the song. Also, you can download the
zipped version (610K).
