Class Song The time has come for us to part And travel on our separate ways, But a kind spot ever in our hearts Shall remind us of our bright school days. We tread on pathways dark, alone Remembering teachings given by you Though back of the clouds the sun has gone The knowledge gained here brings us thru. In all the dark days up ahead When we look up to see the sun Shine thru. To bring us through instead Encouragement from your glory won. So farewell Orleans, School of old, Your memory shall ever last And everyone, both shy and bold. Remembers good times all gone past. PAGE THIRTY
