J. M. II. S. On the banks of the Rappahannock, And the ancient King ' s Highway; At the head of navigation And the tide from the Chesapeake Bay, Stands a city old and honored May her shadows ne’er grow less; And the jewels of that city Is her High School, J.

( Chorus ) Hail, hail, to James Monroe Our own beloved High; Though her pathway may be rugged We will leave her with a sigh; In the years before us, Her name we ' ll always bless; For she’s our foster mother, Our beloved J. M. H. S. Four square to the winds of heaven, Four square to truth and right; May she stand foursquare forever, ' Gainst ignorance and strife. May she ever bear with honor And her sons and daughters bless, The flag that flies above her, Our beloved J. M. H. S.
