School Song
The Rouser originated in 1917. Ada Bicking, music supervisor, suggested the tune of the University of Minnesota rouser, which is also used by Gibson Southern and few other schools in the area, and a girl of the class of 1918 wrote the words (which are themselves a near carbon copy of the Minnesota Rouser). It first appears in The Sagas of 1918 beginning, "Evansville High School, hats off to thee!" The change to "Central High School, hats off to thee!" the following year greatly improved the rhythm.
The Rouser
Central High School hats off to thee
To your colors true we shall ever be
Firm and strong, united are we
Rah Rah Rah for Central High
Rah Rah Rah Rah
Rah, for the Gold and Brown
C-E-N-T-R-A-L all for Central give a big yell
