School is but an easy dream; For the student works who passes,- Lessons are not what they seem. School is real, school is earnest, And today we but begin,- Weak thou art—to school returnest! Oft is spoken ere we win. Not beginning, and not ending. Is our school of life today; But to pause, our memories blending With our hopes along the way. Tasks seemed long, yet class-time fleeting. And we've all seemed brave and gay. Though our hearts, like drums, were beating On examination day! In each day's returning battle We have had our taste of life; Often made the book-shelves rattle With the zeal of learning's strife. Now a future, ever pleasant. Beckons from a past that's dead; We must leave this living present. Knowing not what waits ahead. Lives of graduates would remind us We could win diplomas, too,- And departing, leave behind us Proof of all we've tried to do. Records that perhaps the classes Coming after us may find. Gleaning thought which truth surpasses From the words we leave behind. JUNIORS ELIZABETH ARNOLD BETTY BROWN RALPH CARLTON GAINES COGGINS VIRGINIA COLVARD R. J. EASON REGINALD FORBUS LEWIS GODFREE E.
