Though we' ve often much displeased them, Still we love our teachers dear, Who have been so kind and patient Through the trials of the year. lVe gaze long into the future, As we leave our tasks hehind, See the clouds about us gather, And the sun upon us shine. But the time has almost reached us- Time when we must say farewell lVith our teachers and our school-mates May our memory always dwell.
