At the May 21, 1972 Graduation, we sang
“The Halls of Ivy” (Henry
Russell & Vick Knight, 1950),
that had been renamed “The Sacred Halls of
V.H.S.” The words were as follows:
Oh we love the halls of
V.H.S.
That surround us here
today
And we will not forget
though
We be far, far away
To the hallowed halls of
V.H.S.
Ev’ry voice will bid
farewell
And shimmer off in
twilight
Like the old vesper bell
One day a hush will fall
The footsteps of us all
Will echo down the hall
and disappear
But as we sadly start
Our journeys far apart
A part of every heart will
linger here
In the sacred halls of
V.H.S.
Where we’ve lived and
learned to know,
That through the years
we’ll see you
In the sweet afterglow.
Hear a Midi
Version (without words)
Hear the .mp3
Version (with words) – Substitute “V.H.S.” for the word “Ivy”
