SENIOR POEM We have taken from the rainbow. It’s radiant pink hue; We have borrowed from the shamrock. It’s color bright with dew. With the color of the heaven. And the sturdy Irish green, We can conquer all obstacles, And fulfill all our dreams. We, the Class of Nineteen Twenty, In leaving M. H. S., Will in the world’s great thoroughfare, Meet failure by success. When in future we are thinking. Of the pleasures we have seen, We’ll recall those days of gladness, We spent ’neath the pink and green. Vphold the honor of our class, And make justice our queen; We stand for all. and all for one. Beneath our colors of pink and green. Chorus Pink from the rainbow, Green from shamrock’s hue, Pink for honor. Green for courage true.
