Four long years welve spent togethei Sometimes sad and sometimes gay Now our high school days are over We will start upon life's way. In the hours we've spent together Some were work and some were play: Our parties that were pleasures, We'll remember many a day. More than these we will remember, All our classmates, tried and true. And in future days, each member Some great work will do. 'Tis for this, High School, days Which in our memories dwell, Take the tribute that we all pay As we bid you fond farewell.
