IN RETROSPECT Let ' s draw back the curtains that cover the past. And take a wee peep in the crystal of years. Let ' s look for a view of the mold that has cast The high school that each of us deeply reveres. The first one we see was on Rogers street Just back of what ' s now Junior High, In tlie year of eighteen ninety-nine complete. ' Twas crowded too much just by nineteen and five; So work on a new one had soon to begin ; Columbia High School was put under way. This building was finished in nineteen and ten, But the pupils attended in sliifts half a day. The Board issued bonds for the school of today. And, in twenty-five, they selected the site: ,Tust north of the town (it was growing that way) Thus making the promise of progress more bright. The school of tomorrow? Well, who can just tell? The crystal grows dimmer, the last thing we spy Is lovelv linerva who now casts her spell — The Goddess of Wisdom now leads Hickman High. — E. W. ' .31
