Chorus George T. Goldthwaite

Wearers of the Blue, We are proud of you,And ex-pect ev’ry man to do his part.___ To

win is the prize that be - fore you lies; So be brave and strong of heart.__

Harken to the call! Keep your eye son the ball! Let “onward” be your battle cry!___ And

fight with a might that will give us tonight A vic-tor-y for Portland High.__
