Our hearts are full of praise
We sigh aa all our friends we leave.
Our teachera kind and dear.

Are thought of the 8enior year.
We've given boya In khaki
And aailor Jacklea too.
And we-ve all pledged allegiance
To the red, white and blue.
But atlll there la a thrill of aadneaa
Aa parting though we muat;
Hall to our Alma Mater
In whom we place our trust.
