Our days at Norco High are o'erg We bid a fond farewell. Though we'll see her no more, Still we will always tell Of all the fun we had in high school With our teachers and our friendsg Of days at dear old Norco, Whose mem'ries never end. We leave with sad and heavy heartsg We go from those we love. And as we now depart, We thank you dear old school For all the things that you have taught us To guide us on our ways, To give us hope and courage For use in future days. ...Class Song Chorus Norco High, we'll miss youg You've shared our joys and woe. You've stood by us in time of needg Our victories you know. So as we leave your doors to pass Into a troubled world, Those dreams you've given to our class, We'll cherish and we'll hold. Words and Music by Victoria George
