Heaven help the foes of Washington,
Their trembling at the feet of mighty Washington,

Than past the dardenells.
Patriots the pride of Washintgon,
Forever we will prodly shout
GO! PATS! GO!
And o're the land the loyal band
will sing the glory of Washington forever.
The classes competed for the now defunct, much lamented, forever to be mourned, no longer used pep keg by singing this song as loudly as possible at a pep assembly in 1980. Yeah, we won. Sidebar: I believe it was Judi Horne who wrote a scathing editorial about the school administration's decision to do away with the pep keg because it was thought to symbolize beer. (It did for more than a few). She suggested that the keg be replaced with a pickle barrel so that the powers that be could then ruminate on the propriety of cheering for the symbolism of a whiskey barrel! These remarkable tidbits brought to you by some unknown trombonist in the school band.
