Warren Central High School - Wigwam Yearbook (Indianapolis, IN)

Page 6 text:

At the end of each year Warrenites take time to reflect on the big events of the preceding months. We applaud the moments of glory, like the victory of our teams over a county rival. We consider the moments of pride, like the success of our scholars in verbal and mechanical skills. Against these we measure the excellence of our teachers and of the equipment that surrounds us. We suddenly see onr massive school with ne v eyes, know- ing that, after three years, our days here are numbered. These events, which we thought were great, are merely a part of the school year that is probably like many other years. As this year becomes history, there will be many areas in which Warrenites of the future will surpass us. However, each generation thinks of its time as the best. For that reason, those of us who were here in 1962 and 1963 ’ vill always return to sing “In Praise of Black and Gold.” OneM ore WARREN CENTRAL ACADEMICS - page 14 - ORGANIZATIONS - page 32 - SPORTS -

It was in praise of black and gold that the 1963 Wigwam staff offered its nomination for a netv school song. The song came at the cli- max of a skit which opened the yearbook sales campaign. We attended the convo in ttvo groups since our auditorium would not accommodate all 1200 of us. Thus, we were f faide iacL and Goid divided in convo and class, cafeteria and club. In our relatively new building we went many directions. However, our separation was only superficial. Among other things, we had a song which made us aware of our unity. It helped make us Warrenites first. Other loyalties came second. One more song we raise to thee. As in days of old. When we pledged our loyalty And wore the Black and Cold. Hail to thee! Varsity! And as years unfold, Warren, we’ll return to sing In praise of Black and Cold.
