Your going away gives us the blues Cause no one here can fill your shoes No matter what other folks may say We are going to miss you anyway. It’s rather tough to have you leave Because in you we do believe You’ve set a standard for our school We want to live up to this rule. You’ve helped us on beyond compare No school is finer anywhere You’ve played a part in all our fun And made it happy for everyone. Seniors, they say, are spoiled and such James Vaughan is all smiles as he leaves the gym to prepare for the graduation reception. Ar ii it really doesn’t matter much. So we cheer you on and bid adieu For this is our farewell to you.
