Christmas Edition 1974


Sung to the tune of

'Hark The Herald Angels Sing'


"Hark" the poor old teachers say,
"School is finished for the day!"
"Peace on earth and mercy mild,
"Oh good grief the class is wild!"
Joyful all ye students rise,
With a joy you can't disguise.
With the teachers, Voices chime,
"Oh thank God, it's Christmas time!"

"Hark" the screaming students shriek,
"No more school for two whole weeks!"

Christmas by all kids adored,
When you come no one is bored.
All year long we wait for you,
That's why we've become unglued!
No more notes, books, labs or test,
All ye poor students take a rest.
Pleased as pie to finish school,
Even the teachers loose their cool!

"Hark" the happy students shriek,
"No more school for two whole weeks!"
