CLASS MOTTO ‘“ WE LABOR NOT FOR TIME, BUT FOR ETERNITY.” A French philosopher declares that time does not exist at all; that the past is gone and is nothing; that the future is something that may never be; and that all we have of duration is the present indivisible instant, which is gone before we can Say, “ Ithis heres. Time is the duration measured for all things, with a be- ginning and an end between an eternity past and an eternity future. ‘ Lost yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever. ’ Horace Mann FOUR YEARS TO REMEMBER When we started in forty-four We left home to learn more, Soon we learned the freshman rule For the next four years of school. The second year we were sophies six With a lot of books that didn’t mix, We liked Latin the best of all While we sat in the study hall. At last when we got to the Junior year We were beginning to see things quite clear, The Senior prom we shall never forget That's where all our friends we met. When we reached the Senior year Our graduation was drawing near, Lots of fun and joy, you bet Forty-eight is the best class yet.

CLASS FLOWER We have chosen the American Beauty Rose as our class flower because it is a symbol of fragrance and of loveliness. This flower was first produced in Baltimore, Maryland, and was introduced to trade in a florist of Washington, D.C. The velvety petals of this showy, fragrant flower are of a carmine, crimson shade, tinged with soft violet and the blossoms are borne on long, thick, woody stems. The peculiar hue of this rose is copied in dyes, having the name, ‘‘American Beauty Red. ’ Beauty with its success demands skill and training, and therefore we have chosen this flower because we want to accomplish one thing namely - SUCCESS. CLASS COLORS -- BLUE AND GOLD We, the seniors of '48, have chosen blue for our beginning, the blue of the heavens as high as they may be and as deep and beautiful as the sea. We have chosen gold because it is valuable and pure; as valuable as our character is to others and as pure as gold will always be.
