I suggest a new Fight Song:

Three cheers, Titans!
We know we can score

Fight for Arcadia
Do it once more!

Fight, Fight forever
Dear Scarlet and Royal!

We'll be giving a cheer
As you reach the goal!

When things get tough
You bring on the zest!

We always know that we'll win
Over the rest!

Fight, Fight Arcadia--
The best in the West!

Go, Titans, Go!! Close Quote
