Class Poem We, the Senior Class of l954, Such was never known before Are leaving this place far behind, With many memories on our mind. The fun of our parties made everyone laugh, But that was only the better-half. The studies burdened our shoulders with care But we all made it, saying a prayer. 'Dear friends and school, we're leaving you With tears in our eyes and saying adieu. Everyone is waving a fond good-bye To the halls of dear old Callender High. Motto: The higher the aim, the broader the view. Colors: White and Blue. Flower: White Rose. 19
