I S CLASS SoNGS GOODBYE, 'PINK ANDH GRAY, ' r SOSHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT! , -li We have come to say goodbye, Pink and Gray, , H It's'. no use to ask us why, Pink and Gray, There's aroma in the air, I - You can' smell it everywhere, And our farewell song is here, Pink and Gray, Don't you hear the tramp of feet? Pink and Gray, Sounding through Urbanais streets, Pink and Gray, Tis the tramp of students true, ' As they enter duties new- We must say goodbye to you, Pink and Gray. n 4 CHORUS Goodbye, High School, we must leave you, Tho' it breaks our hearts to go, Something tells us we are needed In this world of joy and woe. See, the Seniors slow are marching, For we can no longer stay- With fond friendships 'bout us clinging, Goodbye, Pink and Gray. When the final exams are done, Pink and Gray, Back from school the Seniors come, Pink and Gray, On our smiling faces fair You can see a look of care, For we're never welcome there, Pink and Gray. At the school we loved so well, Pink and Gray, The Profs, the clock, the bell, Pink and Gray, Are but recollections old, And passing out, we'll whisper low- VVe must say goodbye and go, Pink and Gray. CHO RUS- With our School Commencement o'er, Pink and Gray, And that emblem ne'r floating lower, Pink and Gray, For our monument, a boulder, Now our date can ne'er grow older, Nor our friendship's fires e'er smoulder, Pink and Gray. Entertainments and onions few, Pink and Gray, For an Annual for Naughty Two,', Pink and Gray- And a flower of that same hue, And yells that louder grow, .As we say goodbye and go, Pink and Gray. CHORUS IA rhapsody after Geo. F. Root s Tramp, Tramp, Tram ' In the assembly room I sit, 'With a book before my eyes, . And a classmate sitting just across the aisle. Naught of book, but all of mate, Giving heed but to a note, - - Passing same across, anon the teachers smile. CHORUS Shout, shout, shout, the chorus louder, Cheer up students, to success, And beneath the Red and White We will study day and night, For the interests we must have in U. H. S. Then again, in recitation, 1 When our turn perhaps is nigh, And a call down 'i or a Bunk is probably ours- But, displaying a bold face, We brace up and make reply, Please, Professor, I couldnit study quite that farf C: Then within the Assembly Room, XVhen the monthly reports are passed, We are proud of grades in studies from A to . But, alas! in that one column, Where deportment's counted best, NVe receive a shock, and say, N I-low could iz le. C25 Now, our farewell song is said.
