Folr years ago your classmates
And YOU started your long career
Along schools dark, duh pathway,
But YOU were full of cheer.
First, there were twelve as Freshmen,
You had the hardest time,
With Francisco and Perry to guide YOU
You finally made the climb.
Only nine survived as Sophomores,
The rest all went astray,
But with Hutchison and Everds,
You did not lose your way.
Then came eight OF you as Juniors,
Brett, Conner and Sobbing, Miss
With the generous helr of Seniors
Made this year your year Of bliss.
Then six Of you as Seniors,
We hope that you've done well,
So you bid US and all your teachers
A long and sad farewell,
