foreword WE have endeavored to submit for your approval a yearbook worthy of the title The Saxifrage of Memories . The book ob- tains its name from a little flower which may be seen growing on the campus. This little flower, the Saxifrage, has been selected as the school flower. The theme Memories has been chosen because of its sympathetic appeal to ideals. We have tried, as far as possible, to follow this theme throughout. The colors of the school, which are white and gold were chosen by the first class, and signify wisdom, inspiration, purity and perfection. The school pin is a circle of gold with a con- ventionalized blossom of the early Saxifrage in white in the center and with a golden wreath of the leaves of the same plant, about the circum- ference. Purple and gold are the senior class colors selected because they are symbolic of loyalty and sageness.
