It’s a combination of two songs. More precisely, it's the trio (third part) of two songs. The first part is the trio from “Down the Field” written in 1904 for Yale University by Stanleigh P. Friedman (Yale 1905). In addition to Yale, it is used by the University of Tennessee and the University of Nevada.
The second part is the trio from the “105th Cavalry March” written by Theo Steinmetz sometime around 1910. The song is quite obscure and I am most certain that no other school uses it. Steinmetz (or, "Steinie") lived in Wisconsin and taught music and organized bands at a few high schools there. Around 1911, Richard Ackerhusen and Max Kraning, combined the two and added original words for Mishawaka High School.
(To the tune of "Down the Field")
March, march on down to fame.
We’re out to win this game
Our coach and all the team are just what they seem.
So give a loud cheer for Mishawaka
Hear all those Boosters talk!
(Current Opponent) High may fight to the end.
But we will win! Rah! Rah! Rah!
(To the tune of 105th Cavalry March)
Fight on Mishawaka;
Live up to your name
Raise high all your standards,
Spread ‘round you all your fame.
We’re marching to Victory.
Won’t stop till we’re there.
So fight, Mishawaka, fight,
And win this game.
So I guess, Mishawaka does have an “original” school song.
