I cthe Encoald '28 1 Now today I see you very much changed. Four years in Coffee High have strengthened you in every way. You have become brave men and women, possessing minds that are able to think for themselves. The pre- ceding years have become history, and you are now looking happily into the future, which is challenged you to make your places as famous men and women in the world. Dear young people I must bid you adieu and take my place to watch the chimings of other bells. Today we stand as on a pinacle High up in the clouds of success, But can we stay here, can we linger, As our time grows less and less? Around us float the clouds of Opportunity, Each has for its pilot the person Work, Each has for its co-pilot, determnation. Each has for its load the burden of living. Each carries its own motto, “Never Shirk,” Give each task its due consideration Go through life gladly, faithfully giving, Never taking except what is due you. Classmates, as you step out on the journey Go, remembering each one of us here, Grasp your cloud of good opportunity Forgetting not the one’s you hold dear. And now as the parting comes closer and closer, We think of our Alma Mater, our school And when far from the reach of thy folding arms, This band of thy children shall ever roam We’ll remember everything the Golden Rule That taught us to love thee, in all thy charm Where ever we are, abroad or at home We’ll be loyal to you, Coffee High. Now say goodbye to the campus Sigh farewell to each room and hall, Keep for thy standard the very best, A noble ideal for thy Aim. MATHA BAGGETT Glass (poem LORRAINE GRIFFIN

oak 28 cr Senior Glass History -■ -- Scene: A green meadow with beautiful flowers. Time: Evening.’ Moon beams are descending. A beautiful fairy, dressed in snow white and carrying a bouquet of sweet peas, glides in toward the group of Seniors who are seated on the grass Beautiful Fairy: Dear young people, how it thrills me to see you so happy! Time flies so that even I, who glide swiftly, can hardly keep pace with it. How earnestly I have watched your high school career. How can I realize that you are soon to receive your diploma and depart from Coffee County High School ? Only a short time separates you from the day when you will face the world as graduates of Coffee County High School. Four years ago, or forty-eight chimes of the bell, you amused me a great deal with your ignorance, because you were Freshmen in this school. What a large class you had—one hundred and two members! But you were all faithful workers. At the carnival, which in every respect resembled Fairyland, you were awarded first prize. In selling Red Cross Seals, your class came out victorious. Your issue of the Cup O’ Coffee, printed in green, interested every one. Those nine chimes passed; three vacational ones intervened, and then you were Sophomores. You were loyal Sophs, contributing to the Cup O’ Coffee and putting out an issue all your own. You entertained the New- ton football team at a very lovely banquet and a reception afterwards. Then as in the preceding year your Senior I class sponsored a carni- val. After three chimes more you became Juniors, and I might add that you were wiser. You had a large number working on the'Cup ’Coffee staff and some of the Encoala staff. This year you had a Radio Carnival. The campus was made more attractive with your flowers. The Junior and Senior party, which was the outstanding social event of the season, came as a climax of your year’s activities. Three chimes more, and then the great event. I mean, dear young people, that you were made members of the Senior III class. Now each chime of the bell seemed to ring proudly, in order to signify your capabili- ty in all activities. You ranked high in Athletics. The football captain, manager and strongest players came from your class. With this team you defeated all your southeastern opponents. In basketball and base- ball you displayed much skill and ability. The operetta, “The Belle of Barcelona” which you have was a success and a credit to any Senior Class. Two talented members of your class composed the words and music to a song, which was adopted by the school as their Alma Mater Song. The other classes liked the ring you selected and standardized it for the next five years and perhaps for all the time.
