Our class flower is the American Beauty Rose; our colors cxre old rose and silver; and our motto is: TtTonight we launch; where shall we anchor? History Will not put us down as C! remarkable class, but nevertheless, we have accomplished many things, Every year we have had members of our class on the county and district scholarship teams. Our boys helped to win the county championship in 1939. This year there were five senior boys on the team which won the district championship. Tonight we launch; where shall we anchor?
