Class Song: "A Time To Leave" (Tune: Theme from Love Story)
Dear Tompkins High, to each there comes a time to learn,
A time for fun, and a time to leave. And as our time to leave draws
Near, in our eyes, here in our eyes, there appear tears
Chorus:
You’ve shown us a new day, your guiding light has brightened the way.
The time of joy, the times of sorrow, the times of hope for a brighter
Tomorrow that we’ve seen within your halls, dear Tompkins High.
Just looking back the tears begin to fall.
Chorus:
You’ve shown us a new day, your guiding light has brightened the way.
Now as our time with you must end. We’ll sadly miss our principals,
Teachers and friends. For as we leave dear white and blue, into a new
Time, we won’t forget our time we’ve shared with you.
Chorus:
You’ve shown us a new day, your guiding light has brightened the way.
Tompkins Alma Mater (School Song):
Tompkins Alma Mater Fairest,
hail the blue and white.
For we love you best of all,
we’ll give our hearts to you.
May we always ever cherish,
that will be our rule.
For our teachers, comrades too,
and Tompkins dear old school.
