jfacult With the hand that grasps the scepter. Side by side along the way. Goes the hand that wields the pointer; Goes the hand that rules for aye. All, we can ne’er forget it. And we will bless the day That we bowed before the pointer In the hand that rules lor aye. Then let me tell you fine thing. And let it with you stay: Obey the hand that wields the pointer And you'll be blessed for aye. J. W. F. '14.

tLbc parting With heavy hearts we now come near “The parting of the ways.” We soon must leave those we hold dear, Our friends of better days. Those friends who always in our minds will hold A place that is most high. For whom our love will ne’er grow cold, Or admiration die. We bid farewell to those scenes which long We have cherished in our hearts. And though we’ve sung the farewell song. Their memory ne’er departs. As we look our last on these dear old walls That have sheltered us for long. The sight of them fond memories recalls. And makes more sad the farewell song. And as the path of life divides before Our footsteps as we go our way. We think of the halcyon days no more, Hut of the future day. Farewell to thee, dear Graham High, No sadder words, the tongue or pen Produces than the words, “Good by,” When we part to never meet again. J. W. F. ’14.

McLendon assumed the direction of the Graham Public Schools seven years ago when their standard was far from high. By constant, untiring-, conscientious work he has raised the standard until we are now able to compare very favorably with any high school in the state. The year 1912-13 has been his crowning- year, inasmuch as he has secured a large number of units of affiliation for us wiih Texas University and recognition from the State Superintendent. He is liked bv all the students and is considered the most popular Superintendent we have had. He has been ably assisted by Prof. Leonard K. Gilliland, in the capacity of Principal of the High School. Mr. Gilliland is well versed in the subjects that he teaches and has done his part toward the upholding ol the standard ol the school. He is a good “mixer” and is well liked by the bovs and also the girls who unanimously vote him to be a “good fellow.” LEONARD F. GILLILAND, History and Science. MOODY, TEXAS.
