Mary Sootoo has a collection of Clay County photos that have been passed 
down to her.  In this collection was the following souvenir booklet from 
the 1914 class of the Greenway School (District 20) in the Haywood Township 
of Clay County, AR.  Mary was kind enough to send it to me so I could type 
it up for posting to the Clay County archives.

The list of graduates is at the bottom of this document.

THE SCHOOL TEACHER'S CREED

I believe in boys and girls, the men and women of a great tomorrow; 
that whatsoever the boy soweth the man shall reap.  
I believe in the curse of ignorance, in the efficacy of schools, 
in the dignity of teaching, and in the joy of serving others.  
I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the 
pages of a printed book, in lessons taught, not so much by example, 
in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head, 
in everything that makes life large and lovely.  I believe in beauty 
in the schoolroom, in the home, in daily life and in out-of-doors.  
I believe in laughter, in love, in faith, in all ideals and distant hopes 
that lure us on.  I believe that every hour of every day we receive 
a just reward for all we are and all we do.  I believe in the present 
and its opportunities, in the future and its promises and in the 
divine joy of living.

Teacher's Greeting

When comes the close of school my friend
What varied feelings stir the heart!
How soon all pleasures have an end
How soon the choicest friends must part.

A backward glance will fill the mind
With grateful joy for knowledge gained
For time well spent, and feelings kind
And friendships strong and unrestrained.

At time of "books" with joyful zest
Fair learnings pathway we pursued,
Knowing full well they study best
Whose minds are set in willing mood.

Soon as the playing period came
Our books and foil we laid aside,
And gave our zeal to every game
As to the play-ground forth we hied.

In due proportion thus the hours 
Were yielded up to work and play-
The body trained, the mental powers 
Unfolded in true wisdom's way.

We feel both glad and sad to=day,
And scarce can hide the rising tea,
We're glad for changes on life's way
Yet sad to part from schoolmates dear.

Ah! me that some will not return
When opes again the schoolhouse door
How oft their hearts within will burn
As they recall the scenes of yore.

Where'er they go to do the will
Of Him who guides each boy and girl,
May peace and gladness o'er them still
Their banner brave and true unfurl.

So one and all my pupils dear,
Whatever comes of joy or stress
Your teacher bids you have good cheer
And win the crown of true success.
