THE WOOSTER FIGHT SONG The Wooster Colts Will Ride the Side of Victory, We’ll Back Them Up With Spirit That Is Hard to Beat, Our Men Will Fight For The Scarlet and White, And We’ll Go Far Because We Are The C‐O‐L‐T‐S The Wooster Colts! THE CODE OF THE COLTS If you think you’re beaten; you are. If you think you dare not; you don’t, If you like to win, but think you can’t, It’s almost a cinch you won’t! If you think you’ll lose; you’ve lost. For out in the world we ind, Success begins with a fellow’s will, It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you’re outclassed; you are. You’ve got to think high to rise. You’ve got to be sure of yourself, Before you can ever win a prize. Life’s battle doesn’t always go To the stronger faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, Is the man who thinks he can! Welcome to Wooster High School Wooster High School is a comprehensive high school located in the heart of beautiful Reno, Nevada.
