High school poet:
HIGH SCHOOL DAYS.
Theee are the days of the school year,
Days full of life and of fun;
Days that bring memories to cherish ;
Just when our work has begun.
Refrain:
High School Daysl High School Days
Thoughts of High SO truel
, In the sea of memory
My thoughts steal back to you.
High School Daysl High School Days.
Lessons OF Friendship true;
/ And though thoughts may roam.
They'll always come home
4 To our beautiful High School Days.
Though we may work hard and steady
, Each has bis life work to do:
, And then, of course, everybody
Z Will think Of School Days so true.
, Strong is our band, never broken,
Formed in school days so free;
And we'll let this te token
I, OF our High School memory.
