There’s a school in old Virginia, We’ll always claim for our own, Where the spirit of the students Will never, never die. It’s the school we’ll love forever; Our thoughts will never sever From the friends we’ve left behind us In that school of Norton High. II. Sure no word will we be sending, For soon will we be wending Our way back to that old high school, Back to dear old Norton High. There our thoughts will stay for- ever, Forget her we will never, And we’ll sing about her always Words that ring out this refrain: Chorus Where for a higher learning All the students really try, Where our thoughts are we’ll be turning, Back to dear old Norton High. And with loud shouts we will greet her, The moment that we see her, For there’s not another like her, Like that school of Norton High. — Rupert Porter. 12
