THE OIPI 1951 Macon High Schoolls Code of Honor The honor of Macon High School lies in the keeping of its students. Every student owes a debt of gratitude to his school, which he repays by loyalty and honor to it in every respect. Thus the ideal student obeys its rules and regulations, supports its activities, respects its teachers, and cooperates with his fellow studentsg he guards against unnecessary a.bsences and tardies. He strives to keep himself morally, mentally, and physically fit, thereby making Macon High School an acknowledged shrine of education second to none in its standards and rating. VVritten for Macon High School by the Speech Class of 1942. 6'The Orange and the Black Although Yale has always favore clthe violet's dark blue, And the gentle sons of Harvard to the crimson rose are true, We will own the lilies slender, nor honor shall they lack While the Tiger stands defender of the Orange and the Black. Through the four long years of high school, midst the scenes we know so well, As the mystic charms of knowledge, we vainly seek to spell, Or we win athletic victories on foot-ball field or track, Still we work for dear old Macon and the Orange and the Black. When the cares of life o'ertake us, misgling fast our locks with gray, Should our dearest hopes betray us, false fortune fall our way, Still we banish care and sadness, as we turn our memories back, And recall those days of gladness 'neath the Orange and the Black. gp ,Z , 2315 I f t 15 514 5, in ' S 52 N ,T 0

C. Marksbury, instructor of Mathematicsg and Miss Bessie Browning, instructor of Social Studies, who, for more than twenty years, have taught in Macon High School. They have given us wise and progressive leadership, friendliness, beauty, and under- standing. Their every thought, word, and deed have made M. H. S. a more glorious institu- tion. To these, then, who have inspired the lives of so many M. H. S. students, we pay tribute and respect.
