SCHOOL SONG Long live our C. H. S., With her students so brave and true. May she ever stand for the right, And be ready and willing to do. In times of our game or in class, May her loyalty be the same; Upholding, protecting, defending, And guarding her honored name. Then here's to our H.S. of C. To her may we e'er be true. At home or when we're away, Let us pay her the tribute due. Her colors of red and white Fill our hearts with the loyal love, For they stand for the truth and right. As proudly they wave above. 5
