"THOSE MATCHLESS DAYS"
CLOVIS HIGH SCHOOL CLASS of 1951
Once a year it is fitting to remember our friends from
"THOSE MATCHLESS DAYS," as our friend Donald
Todd has so aptly characterized them.
"EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS DEAR TO
MY HEART!".....JIMMY BLAIR
*****************************************
"SO MANY FRAGMENTS OF THE SPIRIT
HAVE I SCATTERED IN THESE STREETS..."
.......K.G.
*****************************************
"BREAK, BREAK, BREAK,
ON THY COLD GREY STONES, O SEA!
AND I WOULD THAT MY TONGUE COULD UTTER
THE THOUGHTS THAT ARISE IN ME.
BREAK, BREAK, BREAK,
AT THE FOOT OF THY CRAGS, O SEA!
BUT THE TENDER GRACE OF A DAY THAT IS DEAD
WILL NEVER COME BACK TO ME."
-----ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, 1835
(Elegy written in memory of a dear friend,
A.H.)

"I returned and saw under the sun, that
the race is not to the swift, nor the battle
to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise,
nor yet riches to men of understanding,
nor yet favor to men of skill, but time and
chance happeneth to them all.
ECCLESIASTES 9:11
