COMMENCEMENT BEGINS A7 OLD FORT MAY 24TH MISS GERTRUDE DULA, Editor and Business Manager. APPOMATTOX Farewell, brave heroes of the South, Who at the blazing cannon’s mouth, Dared freedom’s rights maintain. Long as this great republic lives. And Liberty itself survives, Your fame shall never wane! The afterglow of glory bright Gilds all the clouds of that dark night Which shrouded all the land; And sire to son the story tells, And proudly on the record dwells Of all your deeds so grand. The South will ever hold with pride The memory of those who died For sacred liberty; And endYess glory wreathe the name, And ever brighter shine the fame Of Robert Edward Lee! —S. A. Steel.
