H. S., the school we’ve loved so long; We are the grand old class of thirty-six, The swellest class that ever got itself into a fix. And then would fight its own way out And be the winner yet without a doubt. It is to you we sing our last good-bye, Our dear old Douglass High. We’re going to live our motto every day, For to “Be Square” is just the only way To be successful in this opening world, That we are entering with all our flags unfurled. And eyes trained on the sky for Douglass High, The school we’ve loved so well in times gone by, The school we’d give our all without a sigh, Good-bve, old Douglass High. —Mildred Martin.
