The happy hours of work and play, The golden autumn haze, With team cheers echoing down the field, Were joys of Grier School days. When Green and Gold both taught us well, In field of mimic strife, To love the game beyond the prize, To give our best to life.
(Chorus) Now to our loved school we raise Our eternal song of praise. Let the anthem ring, while our hearts sing To thee, Grier School, O hail!
The mighty hills on every side Surround and shelter thee. The pine trees laden down with snow In winter's majesty. The colonnade, the winding drive, The glowing stars of night, All frame thy beauty in our hearts With memories of delight.
(Chorus)
When spring returns with robin's song And blossom-fragrant breeze, We leave behind thy ivied walls, Thy flowering lawns and trees. With memory's flame to light our path, O Alma Mater dear, We open wide the future's gate. Hail and farewell, loved Grier!
(Chorus)
