Our Donna Tess, is shy and sweet, The music and moon make her night complete. Patty Janett, with her grass skirt swaying, And stars in her eyes, ot Jackie is dreaming. Walking along on the silvery sand, Go Betty and Grant, strolling hand in hand. Hermit Ermit , steady and calm, ls hunting coconuts 'neath a swaying palm. With the music, the moon, girls and sand, Jungle Bill Johnson will get along fine. Barney Doc Reagan, better known as The Brain Over this island would like to reign. And I' Donna Harris, guided by the moon's light, Will remember forever this sweet Hawaiian night. CLASS SONG lTo We the class of torty-seven To our school bid goodbye.
