CLASS SONG Chant de Depart (Departing Song) Tune: In the Gloaming West Street High School, we are leaving, But thy halls we ' ll ne ' er forget, These few years which we ' ve spent with you We shall ne ' er regret. So wherever we shall wander You will always hear us say, We shall evermore be grateful, Just as on this parting day. We have had our days of sorrow, And we ' ve had our good times too, But since this is life ' s great pattern, We ' ll accept it as our due. In thy sacred halls of study, We have striven long and hard, But we know that in the future, We shall find our just reward. Refrain for the Third Verse Alma Mater we are leaving And we hate to leave thee so, But we know that life is calling, So farewell, for we must go. CAROLYN R. MOORE CLASS POEM Dear West Street High; we proudly pledge to thee Undying love and steadfast loyalty; Four years have passed; our work has been approved By our dear teachers who held our standards high The time has come for us to tell To all a sad farewell, farewell. Though failure frown; though kindly fortune smile, Firm our advance; nought can we e ' er be-guile. To honor bound, to love and virtue sworn, Lift we our voice in full ac-claim, Thy sons shall thee with noble deeds adorn, Hail, West Street High, we praise thy name. Dear parents all; we ' ll never forget The lessons you have tried to teach; Remembering the world tomorrow depends on our deeds today, We ' ll strive to seek, to find and not to yield, The deeds you ' ve done will determine the fate Of this our class of 1948.
