PHS, Goodbye
When the school comes to a close, the candidates for graduation will say, "Farewell, Pampanga High School". Farewell is a word that embodies many things. It includes emotions like sadness and happiness. That is why graduation time is a moment of both sadness and happiness. On graduation day, we, the graduates, feel happy because we know that after continuous years of hard studying and doing of homework, we are to receive our diplomas, the proof of the time and money well-spent and of the efforts honestly and honorably exerted in our climb on the second ladder of our educational pursuit.
To bid farewell to our school is bitter; it makes us feel sad; we hatre to say it but we have to part. While this feeling is very disagreeable and unpleasant at the moment, ten years hence, when we shall have successfully reached our educational goal, we shall return to her triumphant and happy at the thought that we have lived up to her expectations.
Before we say goodbye, beloved Alma Mater, we want to tell you how much we care for you and how dear you are to us. Yes, we love you very much and we thank you for all the things you have done to make us what we are now. We pledge our best to bring you more honors and to conduct ourselves in a way that will reflect on your glorious name and on that of our mentors and parents.
Beloved Alma Mater, farewell!
