PRECIOUS MEMORIES Dear Ahoskie High, the abode of our memories of the past, Can never be erased from our mind or from our heart; And even after we passed through thy loved portals last, Dear School, we can never in spirit from thee part. For thieves can take our hoard of silver and gold, They can destroy our hope along with our treasure, But there 1 is that which none can take, however bold. The dear memory of thy days of simple pleasure. In the troublesome days of tomorrow when all is drear The Phantom of those time revered yesterdays Will calm our storm, and steer us to the pier. For none can combat thy honored, peaceful ways. Dear Ahoskie High, ’till the time life’s shadows fall, Precious memories, that tide that does forever flow, Will fill our tired and weary so ul blotting all Save the pure and clean—leaving a beautiful afterglow. By Minnie Tinkham. 20 The 1944 War-Whoop
