And we didn’t know our lessons when we should. 1 hough the others aimed to teach us, Stretched a friendly hand to greet us. And we learned our daily lessons when we could. Chorus: Farewell, farewell, farewell to Downers High We re the class that’s always happy. And we’ve made our four years snappy. Oh, the Class of 23 will never die. We soon as Sophies bolder grew And we held our heads a little more erect. But they never caught us napping, I .ittie time we had for flapping. And we left our second year without regret. Chorus We blossomed into Juniors then Looking down on all the freshies that we knew. In our French we were erratic, In our manners more emphatic. And our brains became as mixed as Irish stew. Chorus Ot, how our heads began to swell, When as Seniors we had reached the highest mark. We crammed, we bluffed, we frolicked. Till the old town had the colic, Downers High has surely been the finest lark. Chorus —Margaret Smith. Page lu enl }-fivc
