H I - L I F F. 1928 G. H. S. Class Poem A four years’ goal at last is reached, A long-time purpose won; IVe find it recompense enough For all the work we’ve done. But what tomorrow holds for us Is ours alone to say; Our course directs itself by how We set our sails today. Our aim’s success; our hope, to win This battle with Life’s sea; And if we fight it fair and square, We’ll win the victory. So let us breast the boundless sea Of Life, to do or die; Let “Onward” ever be our aim As Greenville Alumni. Alice Vaughan. [27 1
