As n,e embark from high school life And chart a course on seas of strife, \\re sail life's course u,ith little thought Of learning's u-ealth these vears har-e brought.
As the tide lear-es us drifting on life's broad n-ar-. Floating like clouds at the close of dar', \Ve approach the summit of our long hard climb Spurred br. ambition, and sped b), tl,e pace of timr'.
Though the l-ears ma\, \l'ane and ouickll- pass, Through life r,r.e mar. linger, a me m'rable class: And though \r'e are scattered, some far, some near, Our memories of high school r'vill alu-a1-s be dear.
