CLASS MOTTO --- GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT OUR DISCOVERY One hundred years ago a group of strong, determined men and women set forth in quest of gold, They were the first of the fortune see'kers of 1849 who braved the perils of unexplored land in an effort to find riches, Upon arriving they were promptly dis- illusioned, The gold which they had expected to scoop up was not present in such form, and most of them had to submit to the lowest drudgery to exist, That their discomfort was part of the building up of our great nation was unknown to them, What they did was for self-enrichment, not self-glory, Deserving, as they did, a collective narne they have become known as the Forty Niners, Now another group of Forty Niners are ready to begin their journey, Ahead of them lie many perils, also, but of a different type, Instead of Indians we face the compe- tition of others like ourselvesg and while there is little threat of violent deaths, we face the problem of surpassing the fathomless pits of greed, selfishness, and indolence that threaten those in search of fortunes, These pitfalls, however, need only be feared by those who go forth seeking and never giving, It is most fortunate that we have had twelve years of preparation for our journey, We realize that our enemies are our own defects, and that we have had sufficient train- ing to overcome them, Saying farewell is less difficult when there is a promise of a brighter tomorrow, We are assured the future is bright, that we are capable of the things expected of usg and believing that riches in some form will appear on the route which we take, we look happily into the future realizing that Golden Opportunities Await Our Discovery, - - - joseph Grant CLASS FLOWER -- RED ROSE There are many reasons why we have chosen the red rose to be our class flower, First, perhaps, it is its beauty and richness which appeal very strongly to our artistic senseg but secondly, it is the universal symbol of love, And we are very much in love with life and with all its lovely fights , We are in love with the past and all that it has meant to us , We are in love with the present and the honor it holds for usg and we are, perhaps, more than ever in love with the future, be- cause of its promise and its uncertainty, The rose does not bloom in a minute, It must unfold gradually from the bud, open- ing up petal and leaf at the call of nature influences outside, appeal to its own life, force within, until it finally emerges from its sheath as the complete bloom in all the beauty and fragrance for which it was created and which has from the very first lain dormant within its being, awaiting the call of life, We, too, shall grow slowly but surely into the rose of perfect character emerging gradually as life situations demand a show of our inner resource, until we at length have developed into proud and useful citizens of an American community, -- Hugh Pinnick 18

Robert Megenity is a lady's man, He goes to Paoli every time he can, In his classes he's not a. thriller, Yet he really is a lady killer, Editor of our School Paper is jean Fahr, And from the school she doesn't live very far, Weather good or bad, rain or shine, She always gets to school on time, Dean Bowman, another basketball star, Likes joan Crews much better by far, He drives a Ford one day and a Chevrolet the Wonder which one joan likes best: Our class secretary is Leatha Vandeveer, And to her a boy from Depauw is very dear, Though we seldom see her date, To speak of him she does not hesitate, Lowell Miller, our vice president, Really could be called magnificent, For he is most quiet of all the rest, And on a test he usually is the best, Eugene Hammond is the merriest scaznp, And in typing he is a champ, He says he hopes to be a millionaire, And yet I wonder if he'll ever get there, Helen Lee Gilliatt does have spunk, And on her tests she seldom does flunk, She is a belle from Taswell, And in Civics she does excell, Last and largest, diunbest of all, Author of many poems on the wall, Of this warning, please do take heed, As a poet I shall never succeed, Craig Fr oman 17 next
