Class Song . . . Let's cheer, class, let's cheer, There's no time to be sad. Our hearts must have courage To show us the way. We'll cheer for the bygone days When sorrows were small and f Until bright tomorrow, farewell, Norco, to you. GW. Dear Norco, we leave you, Our hearts sad and blue, We'll miss all your teachings And guidance so true. At last we have reached the goal, We leave now to face the world. So farewell, dear Norco, Our mem'ries are with you. TUNE: Linger Awhile WORDS: Marlyn Berriker and Joan Buckwalter
