Now we're leaving Milford High School, So, we'll bid thee all farewell, We're leaving here behind us, All the things we loved so well. As we go about our ways, We won't forget the days, When the echos of our footsteps could be heard, le'11 start our course of life, With its fun and with its strife, lhen the thoughts of high school life have disappeared. But the Halls of Milford High School, le'l1 remember you this way, And we shall not forget you, Be we far, far away. - By Kenneth Hillman .. I3 .-
