And now we are the graduates Of nineteen-thirty-six; We’ve learned a lot of useful things. And also lots of tricks. It’s only been a few short years We did this task begin, And we have studied very hard This honor for to win. Our faculty cannot be beat, No better can be found, That’s why this class is far the best Of anywhere around. So if it’s knowledge that you seek, And you’ll obey the rule, There is no better place to go Than to the Chester School. And now as our school days are o’er. We’re sure no one can tell Just how much we regret to leave, And bid you all “Farewell.” SENIOR FAREWELL
