CLASS SONG I Today we leave the doorways of, the place we loved so true. It saddens all our hearts, just to know that we are through; Of the fun and happiness we shared, while we were there to learn; But now we say good-by to all, but within us we still yearn Chorus CLASS OF 1953 Oh, Marlborough High, farewell, farewell We owe cur thanks to you. For four long years you taught us well To think, to strive, to do. Our happy days at Marlborough High Remain in memory. Our friendships made will never die All through the years to be. To start all over, our High School days. Instead we go now to our future ways, To help our country as we learned to do, But within our hearts burn fond memories Pauline G. Woodworth Woody” rue, 97 Howe Street The day has come when we must part; But years will never quell Fond mem ' ries locked within our hearts. Oh, Marlborough High, farewell! II We stand together this last time, in parting and in grief, To know that we must go, from that place we’ll always know, But still the friends we made there, will ne’re be left behind, Because we know forever, they’ll be always in our minds. Chorus Good-by dear classmates, we now must go From Marlborough High School, that we cher¬ ished so, We’ll ne’re forget though, the tears we shed. And may God guide us, in the years ahead.
