THE CLASS POEM OF 1920
Valiant class of 1920
Tell the world your story.
In triumph strain relate
Fame of our dear Grammar.
Hearts will ever turn to thee
Thus our song shall ever be:
Grammar days, old Grammar days
Dear beloved Grammar.
Years may pass, but still the class
1920 will loyal be.
We are mighty, strong and many,
Ever flourish 1920,
Hearts will ever fondly dwell,
On the year we loved so well.
Grammar days, old Grammar days,
Dear beloved Grammar.
‘Neath our emblem, maroon and white,
Staunch and firm the members,
For Honor, praise, we’ll ever fight,
We, the faithful members.
“Learn to live, and live to learn”
Be our motto ever.
Grammar days, dear Grammar days,
Lykens Grammar forever.
