Class Colors Class Flowers Scarlet and Ivory Red and White Rose Class Motto So little done, so much to do. Class Poem THE FAIR, THE STRONG May God bless the days that have challenged our youth, As the years have enveloped our wants and our fears. We will ever more forward to attain our goal Into a future-first not last-'er seeking a truth. May He bless the fair ones who comprise this class- The meek, the wayward, the devoted-the loved. Yesterday a seeking child, today a learned lady. And tomorrow-womanhood-prepared for what'er may pass. Then praise the strong, the laymen of this class- The brave, the steady, the sincere--the loved. A searching child of yesterday, today a wise young man. Tomorrow-manhood-eager, awaiting what'er may pass. The fair, the strong-this progressing class of '63, With these four years are held successes and failures Of each governing unit of this body. Graduation is An end to adolescence, a beginning of maturity. GERALDINE VOGLER H .V. MILNER Class Song As we walk through the fond halls of memory and rejoicing in glad days of yore. There are memories so dear full of pleasure and cheer of the days that have gone on before. How I love thee my dear ole High. Call her Southwest, School I love best. Friends so grateful and thankful as I, Grateful for Southwest High. 155
