ME Fl Pe cut es hs a oA Ee Pr od “ “a “Sa, “ay ER Fall Pe a ace a ——— Sh i = a i, NS ye lt af 4 if CLASS POEM By Katherine Paschall Come, dear classmates, come listen to me, Let's weave a web of memories, Let's talk of days that used to be When life was young and gay and free. Backward let us look tonight Into the misty years gone by; Backward let us turn our flight To senior days at Middleburg High, In those aays, those aays of long ago, We were always climbing mountains, Upward, onward was our motto; Striving for the peaks, you know. Often in the valleys we did travel, Deep down in the Slough of Despond . As problems we failed to unravel And to lessons we could not respond. Once we planned to roam the world around And visit many famous lands, Journey the highroads, adventure bound, Leaving not a single fortune unfound. Have the years changed our ambitions? Have we walked the long straight way? Let us hope that worldly pleasures Led not a single one astray. Classmates, let's come another year From our places on the shadowy wall,. And celebrate in song and happy cheer Our high school days in memory clear. O Alma Mater, for this we pray, That as lonely hidden spirits Buried from an active world today Thou shall keep us here together, Let not a single one go away. TEP RAH: HALE
