WOOD ..... ..... T eacher The first High School Bible Class, in Virginia, was organized in January, 1917, in Roanoke. There are two classes, and they meet every afternoon in the Y. M. C. A., one at I :30 and one at 2:30 p. m. The work is all outlinecl, which makes it easy now, but when the State Examination comes-goodness, well-we hope Weill all get through! The lessons are very interesting, and We enjoy them, while they are also most helpful to us. We hope that more such classes will soon be organized in our State.

l9l7 QTBIJEIIS nf1Rnsnnk.e 51 Class Poem i 'T was just four years ago, High School, When first we entered here, 'T is just four years since when we crossed Thy threshold now so dear. We did not know thee then, High School, Nor could we then foresee The happiness in store for us Ere we should part from thee. Our first long year was spent in study 'Neath lntex-mediate's stony wall, And ere that first year had passed by, We loved thee, one and all. Came second year, and then it was That first we came to know Old Roanoke High, t' whose guiding hand What gratitude we owe! What treasures she unlocked for us From wisdonfs hounteous storeg And strides we took on many a path Unknown to us before. The third year came, our ranks were thinned, As some had strayed away. But we were loyal Juniors then, And all Worked for that day. And as we toiled the Clays flew hy, The end before us lay Which we had striven to attain- Had hoped to reach, some day. And now that it is won, at last- The goal wc've fought for so- Xlve backward cast a lingering glance, And wish we need not go. But, we must say farewell, High School, Efen though we fain would stay, A last, a fond, a sad farewell, Then all must turn away. Yet unprepared we do not go, XVe've laid foundations here That are full wide, and deep, and strong, Our many names lo rear.i And in our future lives, whale'er The different paths we go, However great success may he, Thanks to thee we shall bestow. Roanoke High, we can't forget thee Nor the happy days we've seen, For our memories traveling hack shall cross The Bridge of Sighsu that intervenes. Pom'
