A NEW school motto, reflecting the philosophy of the student body, was adopted and placed in the front hall in May 1963. Knightland Proud of Traditions DEDICATION ceremonies were held in May 1963 for Sir Bedivere, Knight's armor, purchased with the combined funds of Classes 1962 and 1964. A STRONG TRADITION based on the theme of Knighthood -this is the product of the sincere pride that we students of Northwest Classen have felt since our school opened in September 1955. Just as the code of chivalry was revered in Medieval times, we, too, regard our traditions with the highest respect and honor. This theme of Knighthood is appropriately re- flected in every tradition signifying Northwest Classen. A member of the first graduating class, Miss Jo Ann Garrison, designed the emblem adapted from the order of St. George, one of the most honorable orders of Knighthood. Purple and gold, colors symbolic of Nobility, Achievement, and Victory, were designated school colors. During the first year school publications, pep clubs, and classes chose names corresponding with the theme. Other traditions have been added in this first decade. Band director Arthur Johnson composed the Fight Song in 1956. The Alma Mater was composed by the music theory class in 1957. Just last year You-Knighted by Pride and Loy- alty was unanimously voted as the school motto. Parking areas and drives were officially titled this year in a school-wide election. Rich in tradition, this ten-year old school reflects the strong bond that has united all Knights and Ladies since its beginning.
