SONG CLASS By Paulena Chickering. fTune Whispering Hope J We are the Seniors of Oxford High Forced this sad night to part, We bid our classmates good-bye And wish them a friendly start. Through English and History we strayed- When on four years we look back, To sports and games we played Beneath the Orange and Black. CHORUS: W Farewell, farewell, farewell, We say adieug Fare thee well, farewell. We wish to thank all our teachers For the lessons they have taught. Their kind guidance will aid us Through each muddle and knot. May our classmates remember- The promise of friendship fulfill, Let us cherish and follow Our motto, We can, we will!
