Our old places here . We now leave to you, pals dear, You may scramble while we ramble O'er life's wayward glen. CHORUS We are leaving for a journey Yes, a journey o'er the sea Of enchantments and of disappointments Consolation and our liberty. We've come miles, oh, miles across a desert To the port for sailing o'er the deep And we bid you all farewell in parting With best wishes of luck, to keep. of Smiles , But four years ago We as rats came through the door Of old R. I-I., our Alma Mater, Stepping, oh, so slow, Now reluctance, grief, Optimism, sweet but brief, Fill us oft with joyful thoughts Entwined with sad relief. CHORUS There've been days that made us happy, TIICTCIVC been days that made us blue, When the olcl bell rang for examinations And the threats of teachers then came lrueg There've been days that foster tender mem'ries That old 'l9 class alone san see But the best of all is Graduation After days of toil and glee.

1919 Qlnnrns of IKUtIl'lUk2 Class Poem Long, long ago, when High School hegan, We all linen: 'twas a means to an end. The pupils studied with all their might And passed on to us their quiclg insight.

Until we come to the class of '19, Which will he the lnest of all, I wcen, This year will surpass Each R. H. S. class. For we've worlfed while we worlged, Anal played while we played, Our duty we never shirked, So for this we're repaid. Still I hope something I've learned Because a rest all Seniors have earned Before they hegin on Life's Long Way. Then, in no one place they'll stay: Some, themselves, will teachers he, Others will marry an S. A. T. C. Many will to college go, And the rest will wander to and fro. But all our thoughts will he the same When we recall R. H. 5.'s name, And we'll ne'er as yet Those dear times forget Because Roanoke High Is the name we live hy.
