The song is called; "The Watchung Evening
Song" and was written by
Albert S. Davis,
Sr. and the words are as follows:
Proud Watchung, when thy storied
summits
Are crimsoned by the western
sun
And lengthening shadows in the
valley
Proclaim to all that day is done;
As Pilgrims from some high adventrue
Press homeward when the night
is nigh,
We come to bring our loving tributes
In praise of Bound Brook High
Brave Watchung, on they rugged
hillsides
Our fathers fought for liberty,
All here unfurled unto the breezes
The new-born banner of the free
Like them, again, dear Alma Mater,
We gather round thy standards
true,
And pledge once more to school
and country
Our loyalty anew.
The mellow light on Watchung
mountains
Grows dim and ebbs at close of
day;
And from these dear familiar
places,
Soon, soon we all must take our
way.
But even in our furthest ventures,
When twilight steals across the
sky,
Our hearts will glow with kinding
memories
Of thee, old Bound Brook High.
That is our school song, I can't
remember
how the melody goes, but remember
singing
it at the Bon Fires they used
to have the
night before the Thanksgiving
game against
Somerville.
The words were made a part of
an adendum
in our class yearbook as part
of the Bi-Centennial
Celebration of our Country back
in 1976.
I hope this finally clears up
your search.
If you have any questions, just
reply to
this e-mail and I will be happy
to help,
if I can.
Thank you. Ken Sella, Class of
1976 |
