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

Class POCITI - ...- Comes the time when we must now depart From our friends who were faithful in the past. Though we leave you with a heavy heart, Fond mem'ries of our school will ever last. We shall remember all the fun we've had-- The joys and sorrows we have shared. You know we never meant to be really badg When you think of us, you'll know we cared. We'll remember the subdued laughter in the halls, As patrol boys stood on guard to watch us pass-- A bit of nonsense in study period--then duty to us calls To make hurried preparation for that next class. We thank the teachers who have helped us grow And have given us courage to do the right. We'll not forget you, now that it's time to go. We will show you that we can win life's fight. When, at long last, all our years in school Are climaxed by this one day in spring, We'll always remember our class rule Be not good for nothingg be good for something. Jane Camaho
