laughed and learned. Tell us not that we must part now, leaving friendships
sweetly earned How these rooms are filled with mem'ries, mem'ries now so
sweet and dear How these empty halls re-echo, bringing footsteps soft and
near. Now we leave these halls of learning, leave to come again
no more. Now we leave familiar places, yearning for the years now
o'er. May we keep these years forever, may they linger; not
depart May these years at Morocco High School live forever in our
heart.
