Mounder Signature Cheer:
Rickety, Rackety Shanty-town
Who can hold those Mounders down?
NO-BODY!!
Mounder Fight Song
Words by Band Director Warren Reckmeyer in 1955
The music is the trio from "Searchlight" by JJ Richards
Mounders Red and Black
Don’t give up the game,
Yea, team, strong attack
Carry on to fame.
Mounders drive `em back
While we win this game,
We’re gonna fight, fight, fight
To win this battle,
Victory is ours today!
