CLASS MOTTO IMPOSSIBLE IS UN-AMERICAN Impossible Is Un-American ' the motto of the senior class of 1947, indicates the basic thought of youth all over the United States. As they take their places in the world tomorrow, this motto will serve them as a reminder towards the goal for which the world is striving—peace and security for nations without exception. CLASS COLORS CRIMSON AND SILVER The seniors of '47 chose os their own colors crimson and silver. Crimson symbolizes the immortal vitality of American youth. Silver stands for the high ideals we hove set for ourselves and hope to obtain. CLASS FLOWER AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE This beautiful flower thrives in rich soil sheltered from the wind. If placed in loose snil where the wind may reach it, will soon wither ar-d die. The flower opens very slowly, but when it has reached full bloom, its beauty and dignity is unsurpassed. The American rose is symbolic of our class. Planted in firm soil we have thrived with good and gentle Care. Our growth has been slow, but it has been complete. We hope thot our lives will be like the rose, a beautiful symbol. SENIOR THOUGHTS 'Twas a bright September morning That we started on our way. And we placed our foremost greetings At the doors of S. A. A. Now, there followed words and tables And the letters A to Z, Grammar's rules and their exceptions, And the dates in history. That our Latin was quite special Now to this we'll all agree. Oh! we did enjoy our physics. And we loved our chemistry. But for those days of toil and strife. Of joy and happiness, We wish to thank you, Alma Mater For all you've done for us. And as we travel on in life. If noble deeds we do, We'll know 'twas you thot guided us. And murmur thanks to you.
