W OLIVER MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM PIKEVILLE HIGH SCHOOL THIS MAN SHALL NEVER DIE Lines written for T. W. Oliver, soon after his death on August 12, 1949. By William M. Justice He's left his monuments of brick and stone, Which, in themselves, are great enough to enshrine Him in our memories for years to come, And in the memories of many more- An untold number-who shall follow us T.hrough still uncounted years. But brick and stone Cannot assure him immortality. The Starry lift he gave to other lives, The hope he caused .to spring eternal in A ihost of human hearts, that in their turn, Shall pass his vision through the centuries- These things decree: THIS MAN SHALL NEVER DIE! Why do we say he drov•e himself too hard- This man who was not made to plod through life, As countless millions do who only look For evening and the sunset and sweet rest? Unquenchable, God-given fire was his. He faced the dawn and sunris· e~ rather than The peaceful Golden West. His busy mind Found time for everything. He was in tune With something greater than himself. He gave His best always and always felt his best Was never good enough for those he loved. To say we'll miss him-that is not enough. To say we shall remember him always Would never satisfy his questing soul. To live and learn and love and serve with all Our minds and hearts and souls-there's nothing else Can bring sweet peace to him, for whom there'll be No setting sun, but always radiant dawn! WILLIAM M. JuSTICE, who is now principal of H ellier High School in Pike County, was one of the students of the summer school Mr. Oliver conducted in Pikeville more than a quarter of a century ago. H e has been an ardent admirer of Mr. Oliver down through the years. The Kentucky High School Athlete I Official Organ of the · Kentucky High School Athletic Association VOL.
