about

When the song was written, The True Olympians were all Oly Bears; by the
time it got recorded we had a Capital HS member among us. We currently
have three Oly Bears, a former Angeleno, a former German military
brat, and an Englishman. There is no geographical purity test to be passed
to be a True Olympian in this growing, welcoming community. There never
was. It is in your heart and it is in your mind! And yes, for those of you
wondering, those are the OHS alma mater words circa 1971.
PS: When I went to OHS it was a sophomore pond. No freshmen enrolled!

lyrics

I’m an Oly Bear Class of ‘71
William Winlock Miller High School
Probably had a little fun
Never saw me at the freshman pond, no

Walked through that door
September 1968
Gonna play a little football
Gonna smack around my brain
Never really needed that brain, no

OHS our school so dear
Colors white and blue
You’re the school we dearly love
To you ever we will be true

What did I really learn?
I think that’s hard to say
I took my classes
Then I went away
Ended up at Waddell Creek one night

Fate may part us
Years may pass
Futures all unknown
Still our hearts will ever prove
Faithful to you alone.

I’m an Oly Bear
Back in my neighborhood
I ain’t looking for no trouble
Still trying to be good
Never wanted to go
anywhere else - no
