AILIVIIA IVIIATIEIQ Once again here our schoolmates assemble, We fain would lift our hearts in song, To our high school our dear Alma Mater Let gladness our moments prolong, We are proud of our lads and our lasses, Of honors won in days gone by, So here's a cheer for our old High School For our old High School our dear old High. Soon for us will our school days be ended, Our dreams of youth that fade so fast, But we know our hearts oft will ponder In memories of scenes that are past, There are joys that will long be remembered And friendships too, that ne'er can die, So here's a cheer for our old High School For our old High School our dear Old High. Here's to our classes, Here's to our lasses Here's to our lads they adore, Here's to the Senior's so mighty Juniors so flighty, Freshy and Sophomore Let mirth and gladness banish all sadness And as the days go by, You'll find us ready and steady, Boosting for Columbus Grove High. !
