The J. H. S. Alma Mater Revised March 1961 Milton J. Fletcher, Superintendent Emeritus CTune: Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charmsj Alma Mater, thy name in honor we hold, J.H.S., thou art dear to us all, Swell the chorus of song, let thy praises be told While together school days we recall. The old study hall shrines, the joys of our youth, 'Tis the place where the school spirit bides- The sprite that wrings jest from the gravest of truth, And cheers us whatever betides. And still, J .H.S., through the years we shall see Thy scenes in fond memory's hour, While deep in our lives thy spirit will be As a seed living on in its iiower. Thy boys and thy girls, thine today and for aye, Spite of changes old time shall have seen, We'll stand for the right, for the honor we'll try Of our colors, the Red and the Green. You are gone, dear old school, yet there stands in your place One that makes our hearts quicken with pride But you've left inspiration time ne'er can efface, And with us you will always abide. For your spirit lives on, the old school in the new, As a seed lives again in its flower- The old willow still whispers to us to be true And the clock watches us from the tower.
