CLASS SONG OF 1939A We've had each other's friendship For several happy years And now our future widens As destiny appears. She beckons us serenely And looks us thru and thru To see if we have courage To aid us to prove true. We hope that we shall credit As years pass swiftly by Our teachers and our classmates And our Manchester High. We know that our Creator Will guide our happiness So forward to new conquests We march to our success, Words and Music by Gertrude Herrmann CLASS SONG OF 19398 o Our Ships have sailed their courses To the goal of high school days. We've reached the waiting harbor And the parting of the ways. We turn our eager gazes Where blue sea meets the skyg Our way lies out to waters deep . Far from Manchester High. Sailing through storm and sunshine Four years have swiftly sped As teacher-pilots faithful Have guided us ahead. To prove the trust they've given us We promise we will try To steer our vessels straight and true For old Manchester High. Words by Peggy Woodruff. .J V I ,. gli li
