Milton-Madison Bridge ‘ lwHomIwL ojj Jvmk Should you ask us whence these lowlands, Whence the rivets, hills and highways, Whence the natural, scenic beauty Of the outstretched views before you. We should answer, we should tell you Tis the shining spot of Trimble In the land we love--Kentucky. Nestled Tong the curving river In the broad Ohio Valley, Trimble stretches north through Milton, South to Patton's Creek and Sligo, East to counties Carroll and Henry. Tis an area dotted richly With friendly homes and farmlands, Older homes, large and historic, Newer homes in growing small towns. Homes that house the teen-age students Of the Trimble County High School. Historic Preston Place now the Gayle Rodgers farm. U. S. 421 just turning bend down Milton hill. County Court House at Bedford Commuting daily to the red brick Come the boisterous, gay five hundred, To the many tasks assigned them In their hallowed hall of learning. Set between two US highways Running ribbon-like through Trimble. From each county nook and byway Come the hopes and dreams of parents That their offspring at the high school Will aspire to useful knowledge, Store fond memTies, cement friendships, Mark the sunny hours together For a worthy contribution To their fair homeland of Trimble. 12

 Jk tioJk oh 'Tiwkk The Halls of Trimble bring to mind the old clock hanging high, Tho’ seldom giving us the time, it warns that school years fly; The crowded lockers always hold a multitude of things From books and wraps to tennis shoes and discarded yam-wrapped rings; The heater where the teachers meet to greet and gab and fuss O'er what is bound to happen to the likes of youth like us. We. of the Class of '64, oft pause and kindly gaze At pictured grads preceding us, who must recall the days When they too tread these very halls. Fun-loving youth, they were. Their echoes resound around us, dimming today's brief whir. Soon we’ll leave to join them, in the proud T. C. Alumni, May we be recalled as kindly in the Halls of Trimble High.
