Senior Activities Class Poem TO HOLDEN By Barbara Jones Holden High School, we salute thee, Loyal to you we shall e'er be. XVe'll think of you in hours of sadness, Speak oi you with joy and gladness. lVe're proud of all your teachers fair- Proud of all your good sports there. We're proud of halls filled not with noise But filled with quiet girls and boys. Though we are about to leave you, And be scattered far and wide XVe'll always remember Holden WVe'll speak of you with pride. Holden High School, we salute thee, Loyal to you we shall e'er be. Class Motto Knowledge is power, and power is' success Class Flower Pink Rose Class Colors Blue and Silver Class Song Words by Betty Ann Riddle Our ship has now reached the shore Time for classmates to be parting Our carefree days are o'er, New journeys we are now starting. Chorus: Goodbye to you Our friends and teachers dear, Xve will remember Happy days spent here, As years roll on Our memories will fly To cherished days spent Here in Holden High, Life's school to us will be new, Hzirtlships may oft come our wayg VVe will do our best and be true May we succeed on our way.

' I country where democracy reigns In spite of the fact that we live in a land where we have freedom from fear, freedom from want, freedom of speech, and freedom of worship, we still have major prob- lems to cope with, This is a great challenge for the young men and women of this country for to' morrow the government of the nation will rest on our shoulders. VVe must not fail in fulfilling the obligation that rests upon us. In the last stanza of the poem To A Water- fowl by William Cullen Bryant, we find how God will lead us along the path of life: He who, from zone to zone, Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight In the long way that I must tread.alone,I Will lead my steps aright. Gateway To The Stars Agnes Ann Raber, Salutatorian Tonight we open our gates to this galaxy of stars with a warm welcome by extending to you our greetings from the graduating class of 1950. .1 '... . President' s Farewell Wendell Daniel Faculty, friends, and parents, it makes us very happy to have such a large crowd here tonight joining us beneath the stars. We wish to thank each one of you for the time and effort that you have devoted to us dur- ing our school years, and we sincerely appreciate the interest shown in us by attending our gradua- tion exercises. I am sure when we go out into the world, we will look back to our high school days where we had many wonderful experiences and friendships. May I speak for the entire class when I say thank you. A Seniors, it has been an honor and a priviledge to serve as your class president for the past four years. I have enjoyed working with you and I wish to say thanks to all of you for your help and cooperation in making our work a success. Although this terminates our high school life, it is hoped that many of us will go on to greater heights so may each of you remember our class motto, 'Knowledge is power, and power is success.
