OUR FLOWER . . . WHITE ROSE The rose has been a highly prized flower throughout history. It has been the emblem of kings and of saints. Our Blessed Mother chose it for her own at Lourdes and Guadalupe, and linked its name with her favorite devotion, the Rosary. The white rose is especially representative of all that is noble-beauty, purity, youth. By choosing the white rose as our class flower we hope to keep in mind the characteristics and to practice those virtues of Our Lady, the patroness of seniors, who possessed them in their highest degree. OUR COLORS . . .WHITE AND RED We chose red and white as our class colors because of their deep significance in the Liturgy. Red represents the wisdom of the Holy Ghost. lt also represents the courage of Christian martyrs, and the supreme love of Our Lord, for after all: Greater love no man hath, that he lay down his life for his friends. White is used to celebrate all the ioyful feasts of the Church. This color is especially representative of purity practiced so perfectly by Our Lady. Red and white are representative of the King and Queen we pledge allegience to and hope to serve our entire life. OUR MOTTO . . . OUT OF SCHOOL LIFE INTO LlFE'S SCHOOL Education is a continuing process beginning when we are born and continuing until we die. For the last twelve years we have been receiving a more formal education in school. Now we are commencing a new phase of our education. We are entering the school of life where failure is not tolerated and success is eternally rewarded. Our achievement in Iife's school ,will depend on how well we can build on the foundation laid in our high school years and find our place in the world as American Catholics. -Pastora San Juan
