 "True friends are never apart, maybe in distance, but not in heart" 

   

"All hail to dear old Frankfort, to the blue and the white that floats upon the breeze. 

All hail to dear old Frankfort, and all her happy memories.

Three cheers to dear old Frankfort, and may her glory never, never die. Long may we love her, our Alma Mater, Frankfort High"
