Dear classmates we must part tonight
From scenes which are so dear,
Yet We will battle for the right
And know nothing but cheer
Now we must try to struggle on,
Though wandering far apart,
Recalling school days fair and bright
With pleasure in each heart.

Our PATHS when straying far.
May God extend His leading hand
Ana be our guiding star.
