We realize how dear to us our Alma Mater is, And each one of our sterling band Resolves to do his best, when we are scattered, For in all walks of life, With strong determination, and a will to win each strife, Weill hitch our Wagon to the highest star in heaven, And make our High School justly proud of the class of '27, -Thelma Richey '27
