CLASS SONG
Toward the Future We stand behind our classmates Who fight for liberty. We'll carry out our mission Till we win victory- That future generations May evermore be free.
We're marching toward the future, We leave our school so fine. New highways stretch before us, We join the mighty line. We're classmates still together As we keep our pledge divine.
Refrain: Dear Wakefield High, we leave you, And as we march along, We praise your name triumphant In our parting song.
