CLASS WEEK DAY 7!

Join in on our last day of Class Week as we celebrate our class’s prizewinners and hear from our esteemed Class Day Speaker, Dr. Jean Bennett! To wrap up the week, join the Yale Glee Club and Yale Bands in singing our alma mater, “Bright College Years.”

Thanks for celebrating with us this week, and congratulations!


Lyrics!
Bright College years, with pleasure rife,
The shortest, gladdest years of life;
How swiftly are ye gliding by!
Oh, why doth time so quickly fly?

The seasons come, the seasons go,
The earth is green or white with snow,
But time and change shall naught avail
To break the friendships formed at Yale.

In after years, should troubles rise
To cloud the blue of sunny skies,
How bright will seem, through mem’ry’s haze
Those happy, golden, bygone days!

Oh, let us strive that ever we
May let these words our watch-cry be,
Where’er upon life’s sea we sail:
“For God, for Country and for Yale!”
