CLASS ODE
(To be sung to the tune of Mendelssohn's "Farewell to the Forest'')
Four years we've worked together, Four years we've shared our play, And now we come to say "Farewell'' On this, our parting day.
We now are facing the great world
With all its toil and stress,
But with our hearts and minds resolved Bravely to stand the test.
Truth now the path discloses To high and better things;
And so make good our motto-
Just this-"Carpe Diem".
In days of joy or sorrow, Let us e'er mindful be
Of our teachers' constant guidance
To the class of ten and three.
And as we're now departing, Dear M. H. S., from thee,
The tie that our four years have made
Will keep us near to thee.
So we shall e'er be faithful, And e'er more hopeful be That you'll be proud of us for aye, Our class of ten and three.
