May May May May June Song Tune: The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise BY 9AS Dear Gwynns Falls School, though we're leaving you, Fondly we say, Goodhye. ' We'll cherish memories sweet and true, Proudly your hanner we'll raise on high. Red and gray entwining, Ioys and sorrows enshrining, Binding ties around each heartg Sadly now we part. CHORUS So we of Gwynns Falls hail our Alma Mater, And we pledge our loyalty to you. Through the years, though they he gray or sunlit, To your precepts we'll he true. Dearest of captains, you've brought us through Tern- pests of every sort. Wisely y0u've guided your faithful crew Till we have come safely into port. You have given full measure Of the joys we treasureg Parting time is nigh- H ear our sad goodbye. You who have kept us on upward ways, Teachers we love, Adieu! Loyally ever we'll sound your praiseg Patience and wisdom we've learned through you. Classmates, we've faced together Fair and stormy weatherg We will nourish with care All your friendships rare.
