Among the hills of Allegany Stands our Richburg School Keeping watch o’er hill and valley Tis our Alma Mater true. We will always love it dearly As each boy and girl should do So let everyone defend it For were proud of you. When our school days all are over And we’re far away All our good times will be ended But the memories will not stray. We will not forget our teachers Nor our friends so tried and true And the fun we’ve had together In Richburg Central School. As a student of Richburg Central School. I will endeavor to take this pledge seriously in school, on the street and in interscholastic con- tests. I will be loyal—to teachers, classmates and all with whom I am associated. I will respect—school property. I will support school activities—either as a reliable participant or as an enthusiastic booster. I will be democratic—in school relationships. I will be an example of punctuality and neat- ness. personally and in all my work. I will do more than is required: I will go cheerfully the second mile.” I will regard my education as an investment which should return dividends to me. my par- ents. and to the public.
