School Song North, South, East or to where'ere we roam, West will remain dear to our hearts, For West will always be our cherished home, Even though we soon must part, Chorus: WEST-We honor you, WEST-We will be true Always faithful we shall be to thee, WEST, Topeka West. Royal Purple is for majesty, We wear it proudly as we go, And white shows truth and our sincerity, In the friendships that we know. Repeat Chorus. Chant: Royal Purple, Lives Forever, Gleaming White, Fail Us Never, Hit it! Purple, White. Fight! Fight! Fight!!
