CLASS FLOWER 0 We, the Senior Class of 1949. have chosen the Red Rose as our C lass Flower. This rose symbolizes the past four years, in which we have dwelled within the walls of our Alma Mater. In our Freslunan year we were like the rosebud, fragile and young. and we unfolded only a feyv petals. We had not the strength of a full grqwn rose but as all beautiful roses must be tended, pruned, nurtured and cultivated, we started our growth. In our Sophomore year the rosebud had developed a stronger stem, the petals opened more fully and now for the first time a delicate fragrance came from the flower. Like the rose, we were gaining more knowledge from our books, everyday life, and our relation with other Human Beings. As Juniors, the deeper and more hidden qualities of the rose had reached almost full growth, and as the petals unfolded its beauty, fragrance. and strength were visible to the hurnan eye. As the rose is plucked to become a part of a bouquet to beautify the lives of men, we the Seniors, had reached our full maturity. We are, indeed, fledgling citizens of a great democracyg we are products of our educational system, we are social beings ready to step forward to higher degrees of social, economic and political lifel As the rose was brought to its full beauty by the skillfulcare of nature and the gardener, so we have been brought to ours by our parents and teachers, the gardeners of our lives. It has been said that the rose is a symbol of courage, love. and beauty: we hope that our lives will be full of courage, love, and beauty. With this thought in mind, we have chosen the Red Rose as our C lass F lower. Hazel C randall CLASS COLORS Blue and White We, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Nine. have selected for our C lass Colors, Blue and White. We first chose the blue of truth for our foundation--the blue of the sky and the sea, and of all eternal things that are as true and as high as the heavens, and as deep and as unresting as the ocean. With this blue we blend the white as our secondary class color. Hoping that the purity it typifies may become closely inculcated in our personal principles and that by blending it with the blue of truth, our courage may be kept ever clean and white--that we may remain always pure of thought and word and deed, brave of purpose and spirit. Yes, brave and pure of motive in all that we may think, or say, or do throughout the course of our lives. So we start on this voyage of life holding the colors of blue and white proudly aloft, determined to stand by them to the end, building for ourselves lives of braver, purer promise and richer value. and characters of sterling strength and tested purity, through a wise and happy blending of the blue with the white.
