Senior poem Four years! How fast the time has flown; Too soon it seems to say good-bye. And though our high school course is done, We fain woidd linger, linger nigh. Four years! Ah, pleasure they have brought Who now must go away. What joys we ' ve had with new found friends — Those friendships in our hearts will stay. Not all was pleasure; many a time When first we met, our hearts repined Before, in friendship ' s holy bonds. Release from longings did we find. Ah, yes ! ' Tis hard to say adieu. Oh! G. H. S., our Alma Mater dear, Our fondest thoughts shall be with you; And we shall leave you with A fear, perhaps; hit life ' s ahead. Let others come and fill our place; Forth to the battle we must go; Farewell! We leave thee now in peace.

?|is;torj of tte Clasig of 1920 CUSTOM demands and G. H. S. approves that the history of the Class of 1920 shall not go down unwritten, and, we feeling that our good work ranks with that of the best of her children are not at all averse. ' Twas on a beautiful Monday morning in September of 1909 that most of us first entered the old school building on Evans Street, and departed the life of infanthood. Ah, me! those were good old days, when we made mud pies and went wading in the little stream that served as a barrier between the school ground and the next door neighbors ' peach tree. Never then, did teacher stand up and, with look severe, say, Girls must not hold httle boys ' hands. We were banded together fifty or sixty strong then. But, alas! many have either moved away or dropped out to meet the world single-handed — and double- handed, too. Yea, sighing lovers, with heart-distilling tongues, have much too often woo ' d the lasses from our toiling crew. The wind hath blown only twenty- seven good stickers straight to the end of the row. We realize that the school has given us the best possible and aided us in fitting ourselves for Life ' s battl e, and, in return, our class has given much to G. H. S. Many of the athletes, both girls and boys, who have won victories for the school are members of this class. Always we have faithfully performed our part in all school activities. And now, having mastered the problems of High School, we face the sun of a new day in our fife. Our real history is yet to be made. We must bid farewell to these High School days and seek our work in other climes. May G. H. S. always look with pride on the Class of Nineteen Twenty.
