THE ALACHUAN 1923 FAREWELL TO G. H. S. In the far off days when we were young, When our school life had just begun, Looking with awe on Seniors great, We almost despaired of that lofty state. But as we climbed the upward path, And conquered demons of English and Math., Wlon our first 'TCW on the Basketball Court, And steered champ titles into port, We learned that hy much application We could hope at last to attain graduation. So we loaded our guns and stuck to the fight. And kept the oil burning night after night. And now at last that the battleis done, The fortress stormed and the victory won, Deep down in our hearts as the time draws near, When we shall no longer he students here, We look with sad longing on the days that are gone, The sorrows and joys, the trials and fun, But it's farewell to thee our Alma Mater dear, The scene of our struggles for many a long year. Tho' we travel far in the time to come, We shall ne'er forget our foster home. No, we'll never forget, and this our prayer That thy name live on from year to year, That thy fame ne'er tarnish, thy glories ne'er fade, Which thou thru sacrifice hath made. And oh, may thy sous and thy daughters e'er try The white light of honor to hold on high! So, Classmates, let's drink to Gainesville so dear, And hid her farewell with a last rousing cheer! 7
