With a cheery smile and Z1 wave of the hand They wandered into a fairer land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be since they linger there. Think of them as faring on as dear, In the love of there as the love of here. Mild and gentle as they were brave, When the sweetest love of their lives they gave To simple things, where the flowers grew, Pure as their smiles they were likened too. The touches of their hands they stayed As reverently as their lips have prayed. Think of our friends just as the same, I say, For they are not dead: they are just awayf, - Page 18 f.

1926 GHE ATALANTA I 926 GOOD-BYE We've had four years of happiness In old Atlanta High, Now the saddest time of all has come When we must say Good-bye. As we go forth our ways must part, But memories still remain To draw ns back, where 'ere we roam, To our dear school again. Our commencement is just before us, When we must face anew The duties that life holds for usg There's much to learn and do. But our hearts and hands are willing, Oh! may our aims be highg And ever lead us toward success When we have said Good-bye. Dear Teachers, we'll always remember The lessons that you have taught, Your kind words and your sympathy, When for passing grades we fought. Now our high school days are over, Our last test flunked or won, We join as a class in thanking you For all these things you have done. Good-bye -It shall not be farewell- Sometime again we shall meet, But happy hours are ever short And days of youth are fleet. May me improve these shining hours And climb each hill on high That leads us toward life's commencement, As we sadly whisper Good-bye. S. C. H., '26 - Page 19 -
