CLASS POEM We Shall Always Remember Dear old Northampton we would just like to say, That we shall always remember you as you are today, Your lofty building, great and tall, The things you stand for both large and small. II We shall remember our teachers who tried so hard To show us the pitfalls and to keep us on guard We shall remember our classrooms in every detail And to do thy bidding we shall not fail. III Our principal whose every act was in our behalf And all the members of our teaching staff, Yes, we shall remember the hours they have spent For to us they were blessings from heaven sent. IV Now to the dear schoolmates we leave behind Keep this thought in mind We are going the way that others have gone But you are with us Northampton, we ' re not alone. V We are leaving you Northampton for a lofty goal, But we shall remember the things we ' ve been told, For we shall need them as we go out in life To encounter the darkness, bitterness and strife. VI Now the time has come for us to part But we shall always remember you deep in our hearts These last words we say with a sorrowful sigh We ' ll forever cherish you Northampton, and now good by. (Eleanor Ames) CLASS SONG Good-by Northampton (Tune Danny Boy) Oh County High, Dear County High we ' re leaving, We hate to say the time has come to part. All through the years we ' ll cherish thee Northampton ' Cause it was you that gave us our first start. We ' ve loved the years we ' ve shared at Northampton High, And so it ' s hard for us to say goodby. We ' ll miss our school and we shall miss our teachers, too, Northampton High, Northampton High, we do love you. (words by Maurice Wynder and Tabitha Trower)
