Belatedly, Leah Garchik, City College Lyrics to "If You're Going to San Francisco"

Only after exams did I realize that Leah Garchik had called for new words to "If You Are Going to San Francisco."  I read what readers contributed and was surprised that no one wrote about City College.  Here's my belated stab at it.  (Ouch!) 


                        If you’re going to San Francisco, let’s hope you’ll find our City College there.
                        Those who are there in San Francisco know City College has got a lot to share.
                        All those who come to City College know that it stands for people everywhere.
                        In each class at City College the world’s reflected. Let’s show the world we care.
           
In anticipation of accreditation—We call.
We'll all support it.
For three generations it’s brought education
 to all
             

We should support it.
Never abort it.*

          
All those who go  to San Francisco
Be sure  to look for City College there.
If you come to City College
Credit is yours.  It’s open.  Take your chair.

If you go  to San Francisco, let’s hope you’ll find our City College there.







* Or:  Some change arranges
Refusing bad changes.
I just prefer something about making good changes but not changing the essence.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
