Lov'd Medfield High School,
Where we have studied long, To thee we give a song, On this bright day. Our motto, "Gradatim,"
We follow with a vim
As we life's upward way March step by step.
We love our blue and gold, Symbols of truth and right ; May they be ever bright Just as of old. May we be ever true, Thus honor still the blue, . Mirror of heav'n's bright hue, Lov'd blue and gold.
