Charleston

Here in the dusky quiet of the streets
Lies a forgotten age
Wrapped in the mellow dimness of the past—
Written on yellowed page.
Here are the musty chronicles of years,
Inscribed by the hand
Of those who passed some centuries ago—
Into another land.
Here, in the past—time immemorial—
Brave men have stood apart
Holding the heritage of ages gone
A people of vibrant heart.

by Ellen Chantal Brown, Ashley Hall, class of 1939
Permission to use the poem given by Ashley Hall

Miss Ann Hill, a student from Ashley Hall, will be the a cappella soloist at the Opening Session on Wednesday morning at 8:00 a.m.
