BLUE AND WHITE . COURAGE-LEARNING-WISDOM Certain objects have a particular significance because of the use to which they have been putg a scroll signifies the learning of the ancientsg a laurel wreath signifies victoryg the skull and cross-bones is the sign of deathg the four leaf clover is a good luck omeng the flag or shield may cause the heart to swell With patriotic emotion and arouse hatred or fear. The class ring of '31 bears engraved upon it, the eagle, the knight's head, the scroll and the scales. Each of these insignia carries a meaningg the eagle signifies strength and freedomg the knight's head, courageg the scroll, learningg the scales, Wisdom. The eagle signifies strength and freedom. Strength is generally con- ceded to be of two kinds, physical and moral. Those who have planned our high school Work have recognized the need for physical strength especially in our gymnasium Work and athletic games, the moral side of life is not so easy to get at but our dealing with each other, our attitudes, and our loyalties toward school and school affairs have been directed into ways of fairness and honesty. A The knight's head signifies courtesy and bravery and these terms are often synonymous. As we pass from year to year We learn that wherever people mingle together in Work and in play, courtesy is necessary. The scroll represents learning. The ancients, before printing came into use, Wrote their laws and their literature on the scroll. After all is said and done our main purpose in coming to school is to obtain learn- ing and through it to get Wisdom and understanding. In no sense do We feel that our learning is complete now that we are graduated from high school. May We instead, realize that this step in our education is only a be- ginning-in a true sense, just a commencement. The scales represent the ability to weigh and evaluate all the experi- ences that come to us in life. Of all those who use these emblematic scales to sort the worthless from the' Worthwhile, the educated person is the best qualified to use them Wisely. As We look upon the design of our class ring with eagle, armor, scroll and scales, let us think of the significance of these objects, and by striv- ing to live up to the ideals that each one represents, prove our gratitude to those who have helped us to advance another step toward our goal. -EDITOR. 0 I93I fm' Page twenty-feven
