Class Colors We, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and fifty-six, have selected as our class colors, blue and white. Our class colors carry much symbolism and set a high standard for us to live by, The white, symbolizing purity and innocence, is seen in the many flowers of the earth which are pure and innocent of all sin. We must strive to attain purity in thought, action, and word, then we too may have innocence. The blue, symbolizing vigilance, pe rse rver- ance, and justice, is seen in the skies and the waters of the earth, We must be ever vig- ilant to opportunities to help mankind and opportunities to make our lives more nearly perfect. Despite all discouragements and stumbling blocks we must be perseve ring in all that we do if we are to attain our goal, We must be just to our fellow man, We have the priceless inheritance of justice, which our forefathers strove so hard to attain for us, So we too must strive to preserve this justice for the generation that follows us, When we are in the world attaining our goals, we will have the blue and the white as a constant re- minder, And perhaps our class can make this world more nearly perfect if it follows this standard of the blue and the white. Rita Horton enior Motto We, the Senior class of 1955-56, have chosen for our class motto, The Past Forever Gone, The Future Still Our Own . For the past twelve years our aim has been directed toward this day of our graduation, Now as we are about to reach our goal, we can look back on the se past years and think of all the work, study, and many times disappointment in our strive toward this goal. The guidance and help that other people have given, along with our own efforts, has made this graduation possible. We will never forget the help and encouragement our par- ents and teachers have given us along the way. Without this help and encouragement our goal would not have been achieved. Now that this occasion has arrived, we feel that our graduation is a great honor and success. If we use this education to the be st of our ability, it will make us more able to help others, and bring greater joy into our own lives. Our life is what we make itg The Future is Still Our Own, Hazel Zehr
