Slack an Iflhitr Colors of Class '21 It is quite difficult to put the mystic significance of our colors in words. To those who are unobserving and thoughtless, they appear curious. White and black—light and shade —good and evil—light and darkness— day and night—virtue and vice—joy and sorrow—life and death—yes, even heaven and hell—all these opposites are symbolized in the colors we chose and blend together as the emblem of the principles for which we stand. Would life be complete to any soul who might only pass through the “white” experiences of the world? Could we become truly strong, if we were to meet only the bright sunshiny things along our way? Do we not need darkness in which to grow and develope latent power? Yes, we blend the black and white, Mingling darkness with our light, To divide our day and night! No half measured life we ask, Strength far greater than our task, Watered milk to fill our flask! Out with any life so weak! ’Tis for full grown tasks we speak, Foemen worth our steel we seek! Sorrow will enrich our joys; Life rebuild what death destroys. Balance bringing perfect poise. W’eigh with measure just and right, While our vision holds in sight, Life’s at-one-ment—black and white
