Dear Essex High, Source of Wisdom; From your fountain, the streams of knowledge flow. Here we’ve played, and here we’ve labored, Many lessons we have learned. Here we’ve solved many problems That the years have placed before us. Dear Essex High, Mother of many; Onward t o our varied goals. Now we leave your corridors forever. To walk life’s pathways of deeds untold. Dear Essex High, Queen of all; Forever your praises we will sing. Forever your wisdom shall stand beside us, And lead us on to greater things. Naomi Ruffin MOTTO He who does not advance falls behind. COLORS Red and White FLOWER Red Carnation

-y T vrrcB — — j- T3 wra i p kt Tune: Words by: Danny Boy Naomi Ruffin Dear Essex High, you are a dream come true; Born in the hearts of those you ' ve served, And from your humble birth and to your present age. Your praises have always been heard. Our love for thee will never waver; Our loyalty will never sway; So bind us close to thee, O Essex High, And in this hour for thee we will always pray. God bless our school, dear old Essex High; She ' s been our sacred home in days gone by. Protect her now and ever; Protect her walls and let her banner fly. She ' s been our hope and inspiration; She ' s been our keel and shining star. God bless our school, dear O Essex High; Help us love her forever, ever - Essex High. f 4 - ±±
