Colors: White and Gold Senior Class Motto: “Excelsior” Officers Joh n Billingsley. Carter Rowe. Anne Harrison Shepherd Willie Curtis . . Flower: Daisy . President . . . Vice-President . . Secretary Treasurer Poem The Senior Class have met tonight To say a last farewell, And tender memories of this night With each of us will dwell. Our problems worked out side by side And the truths we’ve learned together, “Excelsior,” thou hast been our guide, We ' ll forget all these—no, never. And in the years that are to come We’ll think of days gone by, And of the battles fought and won At our “beloved High.” O! boys and girls of the Senior Class, Do you ever stop to think— After tonight our dear old class Will be but a broken link? But we’ll be true to our dear old High And to her teachings we’ll hold; Each member of our class will try To lift up the white and gold. For four long years we’ve worked and toiled, Led on by teachers true, To keep her name and fame unsoiled, To give our school her due. Our love for her which is untold Will be a treasured memory. A vision of our black and gold Will come to us so tenderly. Dear old F. H. S. we are leaving you, Ihe school we love the best; But we’re leaving you with those who are true And love you none the less. You’ve served us truly from year to year As you have for many before, But in the hearts of none are you held more dear Than by the Class of ’24. Clara FIuffman. iS
