Our Seal-An Achievement Individualism and symbolism are the important attri- butes of the Centralia High School seal, adopted the second semester of the school year of 1923-24. The seal was orig- inally designed by Velna Blankenship, '25, and later improved by members of a student committee and members of a fac- ulty committee. The rising sun, the pillars, the onyx clock, and the Latin phrases are all symbolic of the purposes and accomplish- ments of our high school. The rising sun represents the ascending glory of C. H. S. and it's rays point to the four pillars, or the major activi- ties of the high school. The pillars not only represent the main entrance of C. H. S., but they symbolize the four classes of the high school, the freshmen, the sophomores, the juniors, and the seniors. The onyx clock between the pillars represents the clock that we see on entering the school building and the hands of the clock point to eight-forty, the beginning of the school day. Below the Pillars is the word Centralia representing the community that is responsible for all that C. H. S. stands for. These things constitute the main part of the seal. Around the edge of the seal are printed four Latin words. Scientia, potentia, honestas and Veritas signify the four qual- ities which Centralia strives to put above everything else. These qualities are knowledge, power, honesty and truth. The date, 1889, is the year in which Centralia High School was founded. ff. AQ S J' eff' An A. W . g 'I -- 2 P A G E 1 45.147, I 5 1951

r THE C. H. S. LOBBY The dear old halls of Centralia Hi, How they remind me of days gone by. Of Freshman days when about the halls The teachers chased me with their squalls. My Sophomore days I see again-- From speaking' of them le would refrain, For then l stumbled on the stairs From putting' on so many airs. The clock that hangs upon the wal My Junior days does now recall, l When up the stairs I marched sedately-- I've changed my method of going lately For my Senior days are passing fast But the halls remain until the last, Reminding each Senior of Life's duty bent Of the gladsome days that each has spent. ,49A.:Yg,,, SKVEQ.
