1 J . n As beyond the horizon sinks the sun, shining radiantly until the end and leaving an afterglow of reflected, softened hue, so the Class of ’47 will end its bright and victorious career; and as the sunset glow remains even after the sun disappears, so will the memory of the Class of '47 endure, silent but everlasting, past but not forgotten, dimmed by time, yet mellowed by years. Amid the confusion of leave-taking and graduation, the members of our class may pause a moment and look back with calm satisfaction on four years of happy comradeship and work well done. The Class of ’47 has made history at Ramsay; its members have been the leaders, not only in athletics, but also in scholastic work; from its numbers, many were chosen to be on the outstanding varsity team—that team which defeated all opponents and won the coveted City Championship. Yet, as bright as is its brilliant record in athletics, is that established by its scholars; many of its members were tapped by the National Honor Society. We may be proud of the record made by this graduating class. As we go out from these familiar halls, we will always hold dear the teaching and ideals of our Alma Mater. We extend our most sincere gratitude to those patient and untiring instructors who have helped us in a large measure to form our destinies. To our many schoolmates we bid farewell. To the Class of '4S we say, “Take up our unsullied banner. We entrust to you the sacred honor and glory of the Senior Class. Raise up its standard, but never let it trail in the dust!” —Alta London
