Song to The Staff

This final year we sing a song for you
Bringing back the memories of our years
The teachers and the students come together here
The times we had we'll bring them all right to your ears.

Chorus:
We love it
We hate it
School goes on, OH
La La how the school goes on.

Farewell gives it all he has when teaching math
And what he has the students all agree
Is talking talking talking 'bout our habits, we
Know there will never be a teacher such as he.

Chorus:

We've been working on our homework
All these 12 long years
McGuire thinks its pretty easy
and so does Donald Beers
Teachers busy in the staff room
Puffing on their cigarettes
Knebel's teaching all the children
'Bout chapter forty-sex.

Holtby don't you know
Groves don't you know
All you English teachers got to go
You learned us really good
but couldn't learn it like we should
'Cause our heads are full of..........WWII

Hitler, Mussolini, Beierle too
Making war fun for you
Dustin, Reimer, Motherwell
They've put us all through....

Fee Fie Fiddly I-O
Fee Fie Fiddly I-O
Fee Fie Fiddly I-O
The address we don't know.

Wallace has her hearing aide turned up high
If she hears you talking you're sure to die
when you're caught you'll hear her lovely cry
"Shut your books and say Good-bye."

There is a tavern in the town (Westgate)
Where many teachers can be found, guzzling down
Don't you ask us how we came to find this out
Cause we're too busy learning all about......Synthetic Division

Fare thee well for we must leave you
Please don't let our parting grieve you
For remember you'll get lots more kids like us next year

Adieu, Adieu, Our teachers one and all adieu
We must confess we learned an awful lot from you
The things you taught us we will not forget
But now we leave the school without regret.

This is the song the students made up and sang to the teachers. It was sung to a conglomeration of tunes including "O Bla Di, O Bla Da (Life Goes On)", "I've Been Working On the Railroad", and "There's a Tavern in the Town".

The Dowry (Song to the Students)

In nineteen hundred and seventy-two
You came to the Dowry and we met you
Then you looked up to those great big twelves,
3 years have passed and now look at yourselves
All of the guys have grown 2 or 3 feet
Your education is now complete
You've learned everything that you came here for
and you'll never come back any more... to the ---

Chorus:
Dowry, the Dowry
They say such things and they do such things
At the Dowry, the Dowry
You'll never go there anymore.

First thing each day Mr. Robertshaw
Reads you the weather report and all
You belong to 10 clubs that you think are divine
You find they're all meeting at the very same time
Then comes the commercial for the next big dance
Instructions for wearing your dresses and pants
Bruce Simpson tells all the delights in store
But he'll never tell you any more... at the ---

You've read about Juliet and Romeo
Theirs was a great love, we're sure you know.
In the halls of the Dowry you're certain to meet.
Some pairs of couples whose actions compete
There's Jan and Bob in the upstairs hall
Sylvia and Pat leaning on the wall
There's Amy and Jeff, Brian and Judith for sure
But you'll never see them anymore... at the ---

The Dowry is proud on the field of battle
Basketballs bounce and the sabres rattle
With Humphrey in charge as the Viking pacer
High scorers were Patterson, Thomas and Slasor
But how could these athletes have done us proud
Without Baird and Rutherford leading the crowd?
The "you-you" club would lead the roar
But they'll never see you any more... at the ---

This winter the caretakers went on strike
And dust piled up --- a terrible sight
But Rob Frizzel was the hero of all
As he pushed a broom round and round the hall
The cafeteria was out of bounds
And David Cassidy lost thirty pounds
We hope he refuses to lose anymore
Or we'll never see him any more... at the ---

There are some outstanding people we know
Jordon, the voice of the fashion show
Rob Glaser who'll be our next movie star
Ron Shewchuk who drives the most ancient car
Greg ran the council with the greatest of ease
Except when Debbie Kaun sat on his knees
We'll miss them all --- they're now out our front door
And they'll never come here any more... at the ---

This was the song the teachers composed and sang to the graduating class of 1975.
