School Song
In the name of dear ol' Southside
School we love so well
Let us offer up our praises
Over hill and dell
See the brilliance of our colors
Gleaming red and white
They portray the love and courage
'Ere to do the right
(spoken with snare drum accompaniment)
Fight you Cardinals
Fight you Cardinals
Fight! Fight! Fight!
