CLASS POEM Where shall that land, that goal of life be found We the 1950 graduates should look around And find that spot of virtue, beauty, and truth Where the hopes and ideals are rooted in youth. With each step in our onward path new scenes seem to rise | These problems will only surmount if you pass them by with a sigh We see not a step before us as we tread through each year | And what seemed dark in the distance as we draw closer may seem clear. And now that lessons and tasks have so suddenly ended The misty future stretches forth, but the twig is so easily bended. The world is not perfect in structure and will So remember our motto: “Let us continue to build. Mary Helen Hemontolor = ——s rverths CLASS MOTTO: “Let Us Continue To Build” CLASS COLORS: Red and White CLASS FLOWER: Red Roses
