Bright the days that lie behind US,
Dear in memory'S sunny past,
And wherever life shall lind US,
Still their radiance will last.
Bright the future beckons ever,
Fraught with hopes that none may tell;
But tonight our thoughts turn back ward,
Happy schoo-days, fare ye well.
Still on memory's walls are hanging
Golden pictures of our past,
Days SC, happy, free and joyous,
Days, alas, too sweet to last.
Life's new chapter lies before US,
We will soon its story tell;
"Deeds, not words" shall be our MOTTO
Happy school-days, fare ye we'll
