BOGAROD EX LIBRIS The ancient Greeks tried to explain all of life’s mysteries by myths. Everything from the rising of the sun to the color of the sea could be interpreted as a whim or the act of one of their gods or heroes. Though these tales lacked veracity, they had a beauty of language and thought which later stories have never equaled. The morals of many Greek myths are valuable to us at Peoria High today. They encourage us to be persistent, forward thinking, and fearless in the pursuit of our goal. As we in our studies aspire to ‘the glory that was Greece,’’ we might well keep in mind the char- acteristics of those gods and heroes beloved and worshipped by the ancient Greeks. Here, then, is your 1947 Crest!

In every school there are teachers whose quiet humor and just, friendly manner win the respect, admiration, and love of those who are privileged to study under their guidance. Those of us who have learned the Latin classics (along with a little ageless philosophy) from Georgia C. Coppock will realize that she is one of those rare individuals who make one’s school days the most happy and profitable of all. And so, to her, in sincere devotion we dedicate this 1947 CREST.
