A FAREWELL TO CENTRAL VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL
To Central Valley High School We bid adieu
Our four years here we know are through
And as we face life’s heavy door
To Central Valley High School we turn once more
There we learned and laughed and played
Those things are gone, our yesterdays
We leave our friends, some old – some new.
Our spirit we leave to help them through.
It’s time to go – to make our way,
Our hearts cry out, “Don’t go! Let’s stay!”
With saddened hearts we pass on through
Good bye my friends, it’s up to you.
Never Forget Us!
