The world will soon part us from you.
1920—1920
To you may we ever be true.
We've worked for you, fought for you, won for you, too, Our trials and victories have all been for you, We're classmates forever, for time cannot sever Our 1920 Class.

1920—1920
To you we have ever been true, Tho' our trials have been many, We've ever been loyal to you.
Thru glad times and sad times we've stood up for you, Our teachers so faithful have guided us thru. Your memory we'll cherish, our love will not perish—
Our 1920 Class.

Wilson High School, Wilson High School,
At last we must bid thee adieu.
Wilson High School, Wilson High School,
Our sorrows and joys come from you.
To all we hold right may we ever be true,
Inspired by our love for the orange and blue,
Faltering never, remembering ever— Dear Wilson High—Adieu.
