You do expect us to excel So let us all do well, If you wish to put us to the test We will always strive to do our best. 2.

We shall always hold your good name high Let this promise reach up to the sky. We shall always hold your good name high Let this promise reach up to the sky. ******************* Composed by Orman Williams: April, 1989 Back To Top
