MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL DISTANCE THE ENCHANTRESS The sails we see on the ocean Are as white as white can he, But never one in the harbor As white as the sails at sea. And the clouds that crown the mountain With purple and gold delight Turn to cold gray mist and vapor Before we can reach their height. O Distance, thou dear enchantress, Still hold in thy magic veil The glory of far-off mountains, The gleam of a far-off sail. a: When the years have passed, and, in the words of a popular song, you “teel a longing 'way down in the heart for that old gang which has drifted apart,” we sincerely hope you will turn to this book; and that, somehow, it will hold a charm for you. We do not claim to have recorded everything that should have been “written down.” Our aim has been to Ji touch upon the general activities of the student body; and to include in our subject matter only the suggestive things If which may serve the mind in later years as a key to the doorway of past enthusiasms. The individual memory will carry its own particular en- jg chantment of these days, and what you will cherish most dearly in the after-while cannot be determined until then. For time is a peculiar thing. It heals the the wounds of disappointment, and smoothes the wrinkles of care. It sof- tens the malice of failure and humbles the pride of accom- plishment, and gives all men peace at last. We can only hope this service, small as it is, acceptable. We have tried to make it unselfish. 1
