America I was born with a back as straight as the pine, And as near to heaven's blue; And the blood of my fathers 1s in my veins, It is rich, and red, and true. And I grew like the doe in my forest green, Straight and gallant and grand; And I learned by the light of justice for all, Indivisible to stand. I was strong w hen the foes of the world came near, And ready to face their guns; I survived with new courage and strength and might, When I lost a million sons. I have stood here in peace 'mid the summer storm, I have felt God's love in me, And my heart holds the dreams of millions who know I am free, forever free.

We'll remember the good days at old M.H.S. As we leave these old portals to win our success, And we'll still guard thy honor And be true blue to our good old M.H.S.
