Do you remember the school songs from public school days in the Bronx?
I have an actual copy of the CRIMSON AND GOLD sheet music from P.S.46.
Be in touch if this interests you.

Niela Miller
PS 46
1940-46

. . . the William Lloyd Garrison School (PS 31) may have had variations, or altogether different song than the one we had to learn for graduation in the early '70s which went like this:

• The time has come
  For us to leave forever
  The school where we
  Have spent such happy days...
  But 'ere we go, we make a last endeavor,
  To voice in song our gratitude and praise.
  For '31 has been a tender mother
  To guide our steps
  In learning's pleasant ways...
  Through all our lives
  We'll reverence and love her,
  And live according to
  Her precepts all our days...

I Went to PS 46 and I remember that song-I had a copy of it for years somewhere.Did you go there??

Ours went:


De Witt C,

where two plus two make THREE!


Actually it went:

DE WITT C L-I-N-T-O-N... BOOM!

(nobody knows the rest by heart.)

Clinton, oh Clinton, ever to thee,
fairest of high schools,
give her three-times-three, oh fellows.
Long may we cherish thee,
faithful we'll be,
Clinton, oh Clinton, for you and me

But that was just a fight song. Alma Mater went like this...

Clinton alma mater
Thy name we sing.
May our endeavors,
praise and glory bring to you throughout the future.
Clinton alma mater,
home of our youth,
to thee forever our fondest love.
