The Gadawhee 1926 H Class Poem We are leaving ' , we must sever, From our school we must depart. We are leaving, but we ' ll never Fail to hold her near our heart. We have studied, played together, Learning lessons day by day; That through life will guide us ever Till our hair is gray. Friends we’ve gained, we’ll ever cherish, As the years roll by; Memories that will never perish; Thoughts that never die. W r e must go, and we must scatter, Scatter far and wide, it seems, But thy vision, Alma Mater, Fairest will be of our dreams. The path has not been strewn with roses, And we have at times felt blue, Though the door behind ns closes, To Blue Ridge we’ll be ever true. R. M. Albright ' 26. Twenty-Two
