I OUR SCHOOL SONG Van Alstyne High by Lloyd Mottley Van Alstyne High! Van Alstyne High I Our friend, our school. We will be true whatever betide. Our hearts we give to you. At an assembly program in the fall of 1941, Erother Mottley presented Van Alstyne High to the student body. He explained that we had been singing school songs to borrowod tunes, and that he had a song, the words and music of his own composition, which we could call all our own. Van Alstyne High became dear to'us the one year that we could sing it as students, and as alumni, it will always have a place in our hearts. OUR CLASS SONG Keep the Home Fires 3urning They were summon'd from the hillside, they were call'd in from the glen, And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men. Let no tears add to their hardships, as the soldiers pass along. And although your heart is breaking, make it sing this song. Keep the home fires burning while your hearts are yearning, Tho' your lads are far away thoy dream of home. There's a silver lining thro' the dork clouds shining. Turn the dark cloud inside out, till the boys come home.
