Seniors Class Motto. Veritas vinclt Class Colors.Old Rose and Silver Class Flower. Bose When we, the Class of 1922, entered high school, the only assurance we had was that some day we would be Seniors. We looked about us in awe at first, but the Recep¬ tion convinced us we might be tolerated as mere Freshmen. After going through the dignified procedure of electing of¬ ficers, we settled down to a year of unassuming observation. Ah! Sophomores! Thoroughly educated hv now in the ways of the world, we became very proud of our rank. We were noticed, we were requested to give our opinions! Surely this meant we were recognized. We pushed right and left, because our far-sightedness and steady perseverance foretold great glory. Glory? Athletics, dramatics, scholarship, Literary Block, entertainments—these were a few things in which Juniors excelled. Class rings, flower, motto and colors were chosen. All has not been in vain. We are Seniors, but must conceal the joy in our hearts in order to impress the faculty toward the end of each quarter that the high school dignity and accomplishments would be utterly ruined without our inspiring presence. “Veritas vincit.” This has guided our class here. Can it not guide and inspire us to greater things in life? We have to make our own decisions and plan our own courses with clear, keen minds, but humans progress and grow only when “Truth does conquer.” ALFRIDA POCO, ’22. — 8 —
