If these walls could tell stories Of how the graduates grew, They would reveal the joy we found Behind the Gold and Blue. Although we cross your threshold And turn aside from thee, Weill share the joys we shared before As we live in memory. By Betty Bach, l2B. Class Song We raise our voices in song, Our loyal hearts keep beating high, As we express our gratitude To you dear Muhlenberg High. Our pleasant school days now o'er, The time of parting has drawn nigh And so we sadly bid farewell To you dear Muhlenberg High. By Betty Bach, 12B. Township
