4-.7, rs' CLASS SUNG Each year the Senior Class of Bridgeport selects a song written by one of the class members, as the official class song. This number is used at the end of our school career on Senior Class Day when the entire class sings the song selected. This year out of the many songs submitted to the class for approval the following number by Ralph McAfee was chosen. Tune- Deep Purple As we leave Bridgeport High, It's so hard to say Good-bye, We've been happy in these years of work and play. We'll ever be true to you, Most beloved Black and Blue, So listen now while We say Au Revoir, Bridgeport High, We won't really say good-bye, For you'll live forever in each grateful heart. So we leave now to make our way, Thinking of you each day. 'll is the cross-road, now the time to part. -R. McAfee
