CLASS POEM A band of mariners are we, A strong and valiant crew, And in our ship Nineteen-nineteen We sail the ocean blue. Our number is just forty-four, All picked with greatest care. And from our mast the Blue and Gold Our flag, floats in the air. We have a skilful captain Our sturdy craft to guide, And, to assist him, three good mates, Who stand firm at his side. Out of the harbor into the sea Our ship has made its way, And forward still, with never a stop, We ' ll sail until some day We ' ll anchor in a harbor fair In the Land of Dreams-come-true, And on the mountain peak Success We ' ll plant the Gold and Blue. — Mary Louise Fitton, O CLASS SONG 1 In that river valley There ' s to be a rally, For they ' ve kept a tally On the class held dear. Greeting, for the class is meeting, And the drums loud beating You can plainly hear. Chorus M. V. H. S., we will proudly flaunt our banner to the skies. M. V. H. S., you are the place that we will always idolize; M. V. H. S., where they surely put the classes to the test. M. V. H. S., we are sure that you think that we ' re the best. 2 We will bear in mind That you ' ve been so kind. And you ' ll really find That we hate to leave. Sighing like the night wind dying, Soft our hearts are crying; For these da s we ' ll grieve. Fern l eipold Page i» ent
