The children started the beginning of their high school education in many different places. Some began in Madison and Orange, and others in Culpeper and Rappahannock. Carver is like a tree which has sprung from the roots of different sources. The graduates of this year have had the pleasure of attend- ing Carver High for two years We entered Carver, our new school in our Junior year, one that we will never forget. We found that our Junior year was not as easy as the previous years, but we were not discouraged; we worked harder. We struggled through the year, and when spring came, we were looking foward to our big event, the Junior-Senior Prom, the first to be given at Carver. We were egar to enter our Senior year. We entered with great courage and the determination to work hard. Fortunately we had only a few to drop by the way-side, discouraged and beaten. The others continued to strive, looking forward to graduation in May. We are happy to graduate but we hate departing from our dear friends. We must go on further with the hope of succeeding. { 44 Pom Our Carver o CD H - i QC Carver, Carver, We raise our voice, It is you that make us rejoice. We know that in years to come you will never die For unto you we have an eye. In thoughts we hhve you in our hearts With hope that you never depart. Even if our memory gets vague an old What we have gained will be greater than gold. If it ' s not so very fine, It will reveal to all mankind We’ll always use you as a stand For Information at our hand. Before we leave we shall rejoice And let you hear the last of our voice No one shall ever know how we feel But onward career our hearts will heal. We shall boost your name so very high In time to come, it will never die. Since it is time for us to start, We all say we are sorry to part. Unto you we leave our many wills But our hearts are so heaped with ills. Again we’ll say we’ll regret But our name we shall never forget. We tried to be sophasicated friends And others hearts we tried to mend Unto you all we tried to feel And many a matter we tried is heal But whether we made a success or gained That to our classmates we’ll have to restrain Unto our f acuity, friends , and classmates This parting time always waits To say unto you our many good by’s With tears streaming from our eyes Now that we ' ve stayed until the last day We ' ll say good by as we turn away.
