Senior Class History Class Officers President . Ernest Pimentel Floyd Dickerson Jeannette Porter James Takesaka Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Motto Forward Lies Our Goal Class Colors Red and White Class Flower Roses Ye who d hear this classes story, Hear the fame that e er ptLrsties ns, Hear the doings of our leaders. Listen to this tale we tell here, Hegend of the FwentySevensy OFr the fields and oYr the houses. Through the tranquil air of morning. Heard we all that signal calling. Ed jew Caishun, he the mighty. Stood erect and called us to him. How these four years we have spent here. Found and conquered all this learning. Going now we stop and ponder. Wonder where our boat is sailing. Thinking, too, of what we e done here; Of the good times we have had here; How our warriors eYr have conquered; And our parties were successf id; And our war chiefs — they—the teachers. How theyHl weep and sigh, lamenting That SO grand a tribe is leaving. But our goal we now are reaching And the prize—a slip of paper — Four years labor representing. Looms before us as a symbol. As we part for unknown regions. We hear hallways, dark and lonely. Sigh, Farewell, Oh Twenty-Sevens. ’ —Mila Norris, ’ 27 .
