1987 - Distinctly Different (excerpt from "Cedarian 1987")
Unique as each of us eventually becomes, we belong to a common company -- the studentbody -- in which every fraction counts, for the Redmen name cannot stand alone; the individual makes it strong.
School Song
R-R-R-E-D, M-M-M-E-N R-E-D, M-E-N, REDMEN!
R-R-R-E-D, M-M-M-E-N R-E-D, M-E-N, REDMEN!
When the Redmen, our team, Is in the game And the whole school is fighting To guard its name And the Reds yell like warriors As the team goes by There's a killing in the old town tonight.
When Cedar's banners are waving In triumph o'er the hill And Cedar's cohorts are cheering For the Reds have made their kill (RAH! RAH!) This day is ours, ours forever Let victory never fade Then rise, rise and cheer boys 'Til the winning score is made.
