Our school days fast are flying, , The end for us is near But the memories of our Alma Mater To us will always be dear. Remember the years together we've spent, , They number twelve in all, I think, And now that they are gone the thought Causes my heart to sink. In future years to come After we've all grown grey When our backs are growing stiff And we have ceased to play- We'll look back upon our school-days At dear old C.H.S. And thank the Lord that us With these sweet memories he did bless: Of ups and downs in the school-room, , ' Of parties and picnics to which we went, Of ball-games won and lost, ' Of jolly errands upon which we were sent, Of school teachers old and young, ' Of friends, enemies, and classmates, too, Of school-day sweethearts and starlight nights When the sky was clear and blue. Now we step out in the future And choose our path of'lifea Some will take up business, law, or medicineg Others will take a wife. When we grow old and dreamy ' And all sunken in the chest, We'll live again in the memories Of the dear old days at C.H.S. -- Justice Hyde I its ,J
