ymbals Our Motto - FINISHED, YET BEGINNING We, the class of 1955, have chosen Finished, yet Beginning, as our motto, in the hope that it will remind us, in all we do in the future, that we are just beginning. We realize that we, as boys and girls, are just starting out into life's bustling world. We know, too, that in the future years, we must strive ceaselessly to attain our goals. With this proverbial expression held in our minds and hearts, we are hopeful that after this, our graduation, the end of our sheltered lives, we will go on to be the suc- cessful people of tomorrow. We pray that we may never falter or regress in our ideals or aims. Yes, though we are finishing our years in high school, we are beginning our lives as tomorrow's citizens. Our Colors - GREEN AND WHITE For our colors we have chosen green and white. Green, the symbol of hope, fresh- ness, and youth, reminds us, as does our motto, of a fresh new awakening life ahead. We are about to encounter fresh faces, fresh hearts, fresh hopes, and fresh ideas. White, our second color, is symbolic of purity, joy, and peace. Peace, the world's greatest desire, is also our fervent personal wish. It is our objective to promote peace among our fellowmen, and, in the best way we can, peace among nations. Of all our ideals, we hope that purity will reign in our thoughts, deeds, and actions. In the past we have found joy in each other's accomplishments, and we hope ever to ra- diate inspiration to others throughout our lives. Our Flower - THE CAMELLIA Our flower, the camellia, is a delicate, yet rugged, one. It symbolizes adven- ture, as does Asia, the land from whence it originally comes We, after our departure, shall be seeking adventure, each in his chosen vocation. We are approaching the del- icate pathway of life. It is our hope to remain strong in the years ahead. This blossom is symbolic of separation, as can be seen by the construction of its leaves. After our exit from school, we shall spread out and separate, each going a different way. With these symbols present in our minds and hearts, we pray that the meanings they hold will be reflected in our daily activities in the years to come. 5

611155 Poem One bright day in the fall of 5l, Thirty-seven met to study and have fun, A bang, a shout, a loud, loud noise, Lo and behold the Dingman boys. From Shohola some girls gaily came, The words, I don't know, soon won them fame. Meet the Shohola boys rough and ready, Amiable, kind, tough and steady. There were three girls with a special knack For getting into trouble, and that's a fact. Some of our boys were keen on sports, And were they hot on the basketball courts! In baseball too, they took a part, And were real gone right from the start, With passing time we became more quiet. People seldom heard our former riot, Our class in size slowly diminished And now with school we're almost finished. So meet the great class of 55, As now at the end we finally arrive. Anchel, Brucher, Crosby, all nice people, Degen, Dammann, Erickson, with hearts like a steeple. Feldman, Fisher, Hanna, cheery smiles they bear, Herguth, Hommel, Herr, we will always care. Kleinstuber, Knealing, Lauer, always keeping up to par McKean, Miller, Myers, very amiable they are, Myers, Murphy, Nearing, always full of fun, Orben, Ording, Pickett, we love 'em everyone, Prehn, Roe, Santos, good and kind, Stasa, Wendt, Wilckens, Williams, success they'1lfind. And now we must leave dear Milford High To gain success in the world we will vie, We hope some day to meet again But now, dear friends, we say Auf Wiedersehn.
