A Memorable Bouquet Violets are for thoughts, they say, That ' s why these come to you today. Roses stand for love of you that your students held all the years through. Daisies for a day that ' s bright When you made everything turn out just right. Every Blue FORGET-ME-NOT Means you are Remembered always, a lot. 4

' ‘Only Your DEDICATION A GIANT AMONG MEN The memories of a great man- -Mr. W. E. Waters will live, In our hearts eternally as we onward move and strive. Though death took him from our presence we still esteem, His honor, wisdom, and work above all men who beam. We, the Student Body have suffered a great loss. But we are determined not to waste and toss. About our hopes in foolish vain, but to do the aim, Of education that Mr, Waters so nobly proclaimed. Yes, though he lies beneath the billows of the earth. We know that he is there with earnest worth An educator for thirty hollowed years does prove. That he indeed had a true and sincere love For his fellow man, community, and mankind But the heartfelt beliefs of a man so great still will bind The students closer to the heights of success and fame. As we all climb up the ladder a man of no impediments came. We ' ll all look up and think of our tall tall friend. Who loved education and equality to the utmost end Glimbing up the ladder of success will prove. To all that we esteem this giant among men with love His mere memories will help us to overcome. As we strive and fight to really become, A Giant in our small yet earnest ways But as our mind tends to look over it, still sways. To this old yet true saying; Only Your Best is Sufficient But well do we know that he was efficient. Enough to partake of this gold and treasure To reap his highest peak with sincere pleasure When the battle is over we ' ll be a stepping stone To the principles our dear Principal had us tone Then and only then can we really prove. That he ' s not dead . . . only resting in the bosom of love. ' 67 NORGOM GRADUATE 4 - 21-66 6
