A shared school tradition

Current version

M-F School Song

We're loyal to you, M-F High
We're golden and blue, M-F High
We'll back you to stand
'Gainst the best in the land
For we know you can stand, M-F High
Rah-Rah

So smash that blockade, M-F High
Go crashing ahead, M-F High
Our team is our fame protector
On boys, for we expect a victory from you, M-F High

Bring out that dear old flag of Gold and Blue
Bring on our sons and daughters fighting for you
Like men of old on giants
Placing reliance
Shouting defiance—Os-Kee-Wa-Wa

Amid the broad green plains that nourish our land
For honest labor and for learning we stand
And unto you we pledge our hearts and hands
To alma mater, M-F High.

October 1934

Nearly a Century of Tradition

The earliest version located by the Archives appeared in the Blue and Gold student newspaper.

The school song has remained remarkably consistent for nearly a century. Although a few words and school references changed following consolidation, its melody, structure, and spirit remain largely the same.

Notable wording changes

“Maroa High” became “M-F High.”
“Touchdown” became the more general “victory.”
“Golden and blue” became “Gold and Blue.”
The closing reference to “M.C.H.S.” became “M-F High.”

Generations of students have shared this school song, carrying its familiar words and spirit through nearly a century of school history.
