CLASSES 4 t FMHS We Build Through ms Building the Bridge A pilgrim, going a lone highway. Came at evening, cold and gray. To a chasm, deep and vast and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim. The chasm held no fears for him. But he paused when he reached the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. Old man. said a fellow pilgrim near, Why waste your time in building here? Your journey ends with the close of day. You never again will pass this way. 0 y You've passed the chasm deep and wide, Why build ye at eventide? The pilgrim raised his old gray head, My friend, in the path I've come, he said. There followeth after me today A fair-haired youth who must pass this way. The which holds no fears for me To lie faif-haired youth may a pitfall be. He jLoo, iraist cross in the twilight dim.

Class Song: HALLS OF IVEY Oh, we love the HALLS OF IVEY that surround us here today. And we will not forget tho' we be far, far away. To the hallow'd HALLS OF IVEY ev'ry voice will bid farewell, And shimmer off in twilight like the old vesper bell. One day a hush will fall. The footsteps of us all will echo down the halls and disappear, But as we sadly start our journeys far apart, A part of every heart will linger here in the sacred HALLS OF IVEY, Where we've lived and learned to know, That thro' the years we'll see you in the sweet afterglow. Colors: Flower: Motto: Green and Gold Yellow Rose We build the ladder by which we rise. ” 119 Jon Harmon Anderson Jesse Ragon Barnett, III Gilmer Eugene Benton Robert Dale Boatwright Charles Edward Akins, Jr. Lana Diane Albritton After home football games, all seniors Patricia Sae Brown Vernon Richard Brown ould be found at the gym, enjoying the class-sponsored dances.
