Lowell High School Fight Songs

Lowell High School Fight Songs - From the History of Lowell Football (1900-2014), by Fred Lenger

Lowell High School has a long history of school songs.  The first known recorded song appears in the 1915 Retrospectus with music.  The words were written by Arthur Brown, class of '16.

1. We liken thee unto a jewel, Oh High School, pride of ours,

A ruby or a crystal rare, possessed of wondrous powers,

And gladly now we give to thee, this tribute of thy worth,

For to us, grand old Lowell High, you're the choicest gem of earth.

2. As in thy mystic depths we peer, with eager steadfast look,

We grow in knowledge like the Seer, from every kind of book.

Through the gloom of ignorance, thy rays shine in the night.

And guide our quick'ning footsteps on, ever toward the light.

3. And when at last we pass thee on for others to possess,

A heritage, a talisman, our pride, old L. H. S.

The knowledge given us by thee shall surely fructify,

We'll do our best, be it East or West for our matchless Lowell High.

Chorus To each and every one of us "Old Lowell" means the same,

A treasure which we all may share and which we all may claim.

Whether or not we find our goal in life's vast wilderness,

We'll ne'er forget the red and white, our dear L. H. S.

The next record of a school song was adapted from "Varsity" (University of Michigan), originally written in 1921 by J. Fred Lawton and Earl V. Moore.  The date of the composition relating to Lowell is unknown.

Men of Lowell High on to victory,

Every man in every play;

Lowell High expects her Varsity to win today.

Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Win for Lowell High!

Lowell High, Down the field,

Never yield,

Raise high our shield,

March on to victory for Lowell High,

And the Red and White,

Oh Lowell High,

We're for you,

Here for you to cheer for you,

We have no fear for you,

Oh Lowell High!

The current fight song was written and scored in 1972 by the high school music instructor, Paul Balaam, and first performed in the autumn of 1974.

Go Red Arrows, Lowell Red Arrows,

It's not hard to see . . . Rah, Rah, Rah.

That the Red Arrows, Lowell Red Arrows,

Will bring home a victory.

We know that everyone here

Will stand up and cheer,

'Cause everybody knows

It's a V-I-C-T-O-R-Y

For the Red Arrows.
