THE EXPONENT 23 IVY SONG Music by Benjamin Whittam, ’27 Here by the school we know so well, Where happy years we’ve stayed, We plant this ivy-vine to tell The success we’ve made. And as thru’ life we forge our way This plant shall grow a-pace— For each deed we do each day A leaf the vine will grace. Mixed with the gladness of success. Departing means regret. Now straight thru’ life we’ll do our best With tests to be met. Altho’ we wander far apart And scattered wide we die Yet never from us shall depart Our love for Greenfield High! —Benjamin Wilbur ’27. CLASS SONG OF 1927 Music by Talbot Aldrich, 1927 The bright and glorious month of June Seems almost sad to-day; For many a heart is aching To think of going away. We loved our high school, every bit. It bound us strong and fast With friendship, honor, and loyalty. Sweet memories of the past. Our future is before us now. With strength and truth we start To make our lives the very best And reach that victory mark. Our life is like a stepping stone Which reaches to the sky. It offers a chance to all of us Now leaving Greenfield High. If we can reach this shining goal Or even come in sight; Hard work and faith must lead us on To stand up for the right. And may the Seniors parting now. Put trust in God in Heaven To help and guide each member of The Class of twenty-seven. —Blanche Williams.
