CLASS ODE
Tune: Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms We say fond farewells, for in each of our hearts Are engraved all the joys of four years. From the breaking of ties comes emotion that starts In our eyes the swift misting of tears. We shall ever be grateful for hours that impressed The true meaning of service and right ; Coming years will reveal our life's pathway as blessed And illumed by our school's guiding light.
May the future disclose our lives worthy of rank To the teachers whose help we received; May their faith in our powers bring results that will thank Them in part for success we've achieved. Years have taught us of trust and of loyalty, too, By the friendships we classmates have made. As the thoughts of such friendship last all the years through, M. H. S. from our hearts shall not fade.

CLASS SONG Tune: Gold Mine in the Sky By Dorothy Louise Cowan
Now the time has come to part classmates Dear,
With the friends we've learned to love year by year, Let us not forget our pledge at Pratt Free School, "On to the Top," be our motto and our rule. We have played and worked together day by day, Sharing many joys and sorrows on the way; Now as to a bigger world our minds are turned,
We will not forget the precepts we have learned.
Chorus :
We may never meet again as of yore, But in dreams we will return once more, And recall the happy days now gone by, All the lessons, pranks, and games of Junior High, "On to the Top," "On to the Top," "On to the Top."
