Senior Class Poem Whither ’midst friends adieus While in the future lies thy greatest hope, Far through the varied days wilt thou pursue Life’s long entangled rope? Seek’st thou the distant goal Of teaching, or life of farming men Or shalt thou be a teacher of the soul, Or writer with the pen ? For years thy mind shall seek In the dark future some light held dear, Yet quit not because of hardest task, Though the dark night is near. But not all shall be thus Some future day shall thou recall And many times, thou’ll think of us, In the Clear Lake High School Hall. Thou’lt think of the many times thou spent In both bright and gloomy weather And thou’lt not easily forget the days that went. While we studied all together. Remember Our Senior year Our faculty, comrades, and then Profit by the motto we all held dear, “With the Ropes of the Past we will Ring the Bells of the Future.” —Mabel Bjorgum. The Purple and White We selected the purple and white as our class colors, because in every way, they express our superiority. The white is the symbol of purity. We, and all who know us feel that we are a “white” class. We chose purple as a good combination with white. It represents a superiority that can only be brought out in the imperialistic purple. Our class flowers, the purple and white sweet peas are chosen to emphasize the beauty of our colors. All this, these colors mean to us and after the passage of years we think reverently and honorably of the Purple and the White.
