WEEQUAHIC HIGH SCHOOL SCHOOL SONG Our challenge to the orange and brown As orange and brown we sway Undaunted our refrain is sung Weequahic will win the fray. All hail our steadfast Indians host Of braver warriors none can boast. And we will fight to do or die, And win for you, our Weequahic High. No one knows what tomorrow holds, But we will keep the faith alive. t's so hard to do when there are ups and downs, Yet, Weequahic taught us to strive. So, hail to you fond Weequahic, We pledge our faith and honor true Your mighty name will loudly ring To Weequahic High, praises we sing. From our fortress on the hill, Where we stand side by side. We sing your praises with a will, As family we rise. It's so hard, so hard to be an Indian, So hard to be an Indian, so hard to be an Indian, So hard to be a Weequahic Indian. 6
