MEMOIRS OF CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL 3 Because we were made happy in her presence as Freshmen and be cause her power of creating hap- p'ness is the re- sult of her kind- ly and excellent character; We dedicate this Memory Book to Miss Annie Laur- ie Brown, keeper of the Addams House, who has long preceded us in dedication by dedicating her life to the ideals of our school.

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

MEMOIRS OP CLEBURNE HIGH SCHOOL MR. EMMET BROWN, Superintendent. “Who is the happy warrior? Who is he That every man hi arms should wish to be —It is the generous spirit, who when brought Among the tasks of life hath wrought Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought Whose high endeavors are an inward light, That makes the patli before him always bright.” This page is affectionately dedicated to one who, like another great schoolmaster, has devoted his life to the ac- complishment of great ideals. Our superintendent of Cleburne City Schools, Mr. Emmett Brown, is the man to whose perfect vision we owe an eter- nal debt of honor. Knowing the lives of us all, understanding our weak- nesses, praising our virtues, Mr. Brown has created for him- self a monument of worth in the minds of those who really understand. Cleburne Public Schools are the best in the United States for any town this size.
