CLASS SONGS AND YELLS

Perhaps we weren't quite as cool as memory would recall.

Freshman Song
(Hey There Georgy Girl)

Class of Seventy
Three more years of high school do we see
This year has been fun and full of vitality.

We are the class of Seventy
Waiting for our last year patiently
Climbing quickly up the tree
The class of energy.

We're glad this year is over
And Sophomores now we will be
No longer small and frightened are we
We're older now.

Class of Seventy
Free from all the jokes and cruelty
Ready to rule mightily the freshman that come next year
They'll learn to fear our own Freshman Class.

Hey, there Sophomore Class
We'll put up with you for two more years
We will be right there to take your place so never fear.

Now to the Class of 68
Juniors climbing up to their last year
Next year you will be the high and mighty Senior Class.

Now Seniors, we all know that you're trying hard to be wise
But you can't make it if you don't try
You're learning now.

We're the Freshman Class
There's no other class that will compare
We will really try to do our best in the year to come
There's soon to be a new Sophomore Class.

 

Freshman Yell

We've got power, pep, and go
And all you upper classmen know
That we're the greatest class there'll be
'Cause we're the class of 70.
FRESHMEN! FRESHMEN! FRESHMEN!

 

Sophomore Song
 (Simon Says)

There's a class in the halls of Winterset
That always has loads of fun
This groovy class is always hip to the times
'Cause they're forever on the run.

We're the Sophomore Class, class of 70
Let's have a blast, class of 70
We're the Sophomore Class, class of 70
Good times ar never past.

The small, green freshmen grope their way through the halls
They're like a fearful trembling little green mass
Don't worry your pretty little heads too much
'Cause this green stage will soon pass.

They're the Freshman Class, class of 71
They're a little green, class of 71
They're the freshman class, class of 71
Better times are foreseen.

The jolly juniors seem to be having fun
For they've only got one more year
But actually they aren't having too much fun
'Cause it's the freshmen they really fear.

They're the junior class, class of 69
Next year is their last, class of 69
They're the junior class, class of 69
We'll be glad when it's past.

The seniors tried to dominate the halls for a year
But they found that it was hard to do
The seniors suffered endlessly throughout high school
And now we're all so glad they're through!

They're the senior class, class of 68
School years are past, class of 68
They're the senior class, class of 68
They're through at last.

Next, we'll be the junior class
And it's not so very hard to be
Our high school years have gone so very fast
We're the greatest class they'll ever see.

We're the sophomore class, class of 70
Let's have a blast, class of 70
We're the sophomore class, class of 70
Good times are never past.

 

Sophomore Yell

We the Sophomores are the best
Because we shut down all the rest
And that's the way that it should be
'Cause we're the class of 70.
SOMPHOMORES! SOPHOMORES! SOPHOMORES!

Junior Song
 (59th Street Bridge Song -- Feelin' Groovy)

Jolly Juniors are the best
When restrained then we protest
We will not take defeat or shame
But if it's fun then it's our thing.

Once we've started there's no stoppin'
For we're the class that keeps things hoppin'
We dominate the third floor hall
And next year we'll dominate all.

The seniors have tried and now they are done
Through three years of practice no battles they've won
But the gay 69'ers will soon all be gone
Never right, but always wrong.

The freshmen think they are so cool
Yet they always play the fool
But it's all right your first year's through
Now you'll start a the bottom anew.

Hey there sophomores, what ya' doing?
Don't ya' know you'll end in ruin?
There's only two more years
So wake up sophomores; get in gear.

We have all been good juniors and that is clear
We're bored and we're tired and we're done for this year

But as seniors next year we will all be movin'
Class of 70 always groovin'

 

Junior Yell

On the move, in the groove
First in everything we do
Proud and strong, wild and free
'Cause we're the Class of 70!
JUNIORS! JUNIORS! JUNIORS!

 

Senior Song
 (Maybe "Come Saturday Morning"??)

Our time has come
And now we are leaving our school
We leave with our thoughts and our heads held up high
Ours is tomorrow
The future with good nd bad times is ours
It's our turn to try
We wish for success in building a better world.

(Our time has come)

As freshmen we dreamed
Of being great seniors some day
We wanted to be the best seniors of all
As sophomores we tried
To show up the freshmen with wisdom and wit
As juniors we know
Our year was for building leadership in our school.

(Our time has come)

At last as seniors
We've grown in our wisdom of life
We're ready to reach and achieve all our goals
Our time has come
Our living is filled with desires to learn
And now as we leave
We wish for success in building a better world.

 

Senior Yell

Full of wisdom, wit, and fire
To win the world is our desire
Our time has come, but true we'll be
To the class of seventy.
SENIORS! SENIORS! SENIORS!
(Seventy! Seventy! Seventy!)

Not 100% sure what this was from -- must be from a year-end ceremony or event

Hail to our high school
Glory, laud, and honor
We ever faithful, and forever grateful
In all our memories, we will always cherish thee
Hail, Hail to Winterset High

This has to be something else from our senior year class day, right?

Where oh where are the grand old seniors?
Where oh where are the grand old seniors?
Where oh where are the grand old seniors?
Safe now in the wide, wide world.

They've gone out from their alma mater
They've gone out from their alma mater
They've gone out from their alma mater
Safe now in the wide, wide world.

Where or where are the jolly juniors?
Where or where are the jolly juniors?
Where or where are the jolly juniors?
Safe now in the senior class.

Where oh where are the gay young sophomores?
Where oh where are the gay young sophomores?
Where oh where are the gay young sophomores?
Safe now in the junior class.

Where or where are the way out freshmen?
Where or where are the way out freshmen?
Where or where are the way out freshmen?
Safe now in the sophomore class.
