CLASS PARTING SONG OF 1940 Tune: A Perfect Day
This is time for our class to say adieu
To the school that we held so dear, To our classmates, friends and our teachers too In our hearts we well hold them near.
And all through our life we will ne'er destroy Their lessons great or small And we'll always hold them with utmost joy The things they taught us all.
