Class Song of ’47 Happy days at O. H. S. have gone by. And with sad regrets we sing our good-by To picnics, parties, and ball games, And books and fellows and dames. To typing after hours, We wish we were back again. But we know now our happiest years have gone by, not unobserved. And we hope our teachers aren’t too unnerved. We’ve been mean, we know, And we’re sorry so, Let’s shake hands and be friends. We’ve had lots of fun. Now our work’s begun. Pray for a happy end! Page Twenty-three
