THE ETERNAL TORCH
always in our hearts
A toast to the Lights of Brooklyn and the men and women of ST. FRANCIS PREP in Fresh Meadows, New York as they celebrate 150 years as a Christian institution devoted to superior education, athletic excellence and producing outstanding American male and female citizens!
(the words below were written by Richard C. Burriesci, Class of 1972 and are sung to the tune of "On For Old St. Francis")


Hail the Lights of Brooklyn .. Men of Saint Francis Prep!
The days of us in Brooklyn, we will not forget.
We were proud to wear the colors red and blue...
And to ole Saint Francis Prep we will be true!
We had no field of our own, no track or tennis nor tennis courts
Yet, the Lights of Brooklyn excelled in all sports!
Hail to Franciscan Brothers and the teachers too
And to ole St. Francis Prep we will be true.
Now, they're in Fresh Meadows the Brooklyn days are gone ...
Now, there's men and women ...but the spirit still goes on!
We are proud to wear the colors red and blue...
And to ole Saint Francis Prep we will be true!
