To you, dear school, we sing praises,
And our fondest hopes we tell;
Our hearts will always hold the memory
Of this place we love well.
Now, class spirit, we greet you,
Holding out to you our hand;
For your hopes and high endeavors
We shall always strive to stand.
So here's to the spirit of the class,
And here's to the spirit of the school,
Standing apart you may fall,
But, united, together you rule
