Oh, we love the Black-eyed Susan, Tho humble flower it be, And we,ll often make allusion To the flower whose charms we seeg For fond memiries it will kindle, Nor honor shall it lack, For it stands as natureas symbol Of The Orange and the Black.

Special thanks goes to Miss Olatha Benson, advisor of the annual. About fifteen years ago, a senior art class, under the supervision of Mrs. Chester Patingale, spent many days collecting ideas and designing symbols for a school seal. From much planning came a collabo- ration of the present official school seal. The torch on the seal is representative of the symbol of learning and the open book, the symbol of knowledge. The top hat stands for the late Senator F. B. Willis, for whom our school is named. Each year in the high school is represented by a star. The seal has become the official design for class rings and graduation invitations. The staff of the l956 Delhi proudly displays the seal on the cover of its yearbook. i
