CLASS COLORS Gold as gold, may we forever Keep our hearts along life ' s way, While Truth ' s golden sunbeams sever All the black clouds from our day; May the white, so pure and stainless. Keep us ever true and right! May our lives be long and painless, Guarded by our gold and white! Gold and ivliite! Go ivitli us ever As the ideal of our dreams! May we find life, as we sever. Just as worth while as it seems! May we each accept the mission Fate holds covered from our siglit. Sure, whatever its condition, Victory ' ll crown our gold and white! Congratulations to the Senior Class of 1946 THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK Of Albemarle, N. C. Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Compliments of CLASS POEM To be an artist is my ambition. Some other may be a great physician; Some may to foreign lands go, One may marry a home-town beau; But where ever ive go to use our skill, We shall always remember Mrs. McNeill. Our high school days ivere filled with glee. But we like our motto, The best is yet to be. Norwood Hi is our guiding light. And our class colors are gold and white; Our class flower is a great sensation — It ' s none other than the ' dilute carnation. We are tlie Seniors, as you will see. And a very small class we happen to be; On life ' s journey we may fall; Our hopes may crumble like a concrete ivall; Some vjill find fortune and fame. And bring rich honors to their name; But we ' ll be proud as the years roll by That ive are graduates of Norwood Hi. ■ — By Class Poet, Evelyn Floyd. STANLY HARDWARE CO. Albemarle, N. C. [ EIGHT J
