John Story Jenks Elementary School circa 1960's

The School Song
"John Story Jenks School"
written by Mrs. Selzer

John Story Jenks School
We think of you with pride
John Story Jenks School
You'll always be our guide
Your fine teachers and Pricipal
Will show us what is true
And we'll make friendships
That will last our whole live through

John Story Jenks School
Your banner waves on high
We'll keep it flying
Though years go swiftly by
All the days of our childhood
And through adulthood too
We never will measure
The hours of pleasure
We always will treasure
The years we spend with you.

It was good meeting you yesterday Michael.
I'll find out the name of the mother who wrote this.
Her son was in my brother's class.
