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
