D. C. H. S. SCHOOL SONG I. O you may travel all around this great, wide world, ln hamlet or in town you'll find all kinds and sorts of schools. And some are little ones and others larger grown, But best of all the schools we love the one we call our own. II. We love the dear old scenes that greet us day by day The class rooms with their pleasant walls, and grounds on which we play. We love the contests and the games that call for skill and might We love our teachers, classmates too, with cheery smiles and bright. Chorus: The dearest school of all the schools, the one we call our own, The dearest friends of all our friends, the classmates we have known, Then here's a hip and here's a 'rah and here's a loud hurray, We'll make our school the very best of any school today. From under the tree they drew Him last:

SENIOR CLASS SONG Melody: End of a Perfect Day I. When you come to the end of your High School days, And you glance back through the years, While the voices ring with a sound so gay, For the joy of the day that's yours. And you think what the end of the High School days Can mean to the graduates' hearts. Departing from school and their carefree days We as classmates have to part. I II.
