TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


CLASS MOTTO "Don't Try Dying, Die Trying"


CLASS COLORS Red and Gold


CLASS SONG "Good-Bye" The sunshine of a bright June day Rests o'er the distant hills, And ever casts a golden ray On lakes and sparkling rills. But ere its last beam fades away And clouds appear on high, Our lips must bravely, sadly say The parting words, "Good-bye."


O Wakefield High! We'll ne'er forget The lessons you have taught. We hope the future may perfect The work your hands have wrought. We know not where-we may not see The fruits our toil will show. But may our standards always be To rise, to live, to grow.


Life's happy hours are ever short, And days of youth soon pass. But may the years in deed and thought Bring joys to each new class. We've much to learn at our command, Oh, may our aims be high, And ever lead toward that bright land Where none shall say, "Good-bye."


Words by Eleanor Bell, '31 Music by Aloha Fall, '31
