+High SchoolMiddle School"Tho' years may come and many days may pass away.
The memories of ole J'ville High
Will always stay.
That spirit, so loyal
Did honor to your name.
That gold and blue royal,
those colors always mean the same.
The friendships dear
that we made here
will still remain.
The Indians, too, they're always true
to you! (You, you, you, you)
Tho' years may come and years may go
Remember this...
We're always true to you,
Old J.H.S.!""All Hail to J'ville's Honor Best in the land.
We are United,
And for victory stand.
We sail the sea of Triumph,
o'er this great land.
We're ever fighting,
For our Dear JMS Braves!"
