30 DOH OE +B EE OLWaNel Es CLASS MOTTO Much Accomplished; Much Yet to Achieve CLASS COLORS CLASS FLOWER Blue and White Carnation CLASS POEM The scroll of the past is unfurling The memories so dear to each heart, Which will live with us forever Though foes assail and friends depart. The joy and contentment we’ve found in school, Our classmates, teachers and friends, The happy hours at work or play, All good, have reached their end. Dear Alma Mater—a fond farewell; We've reached our parting day. The friends we’ve made we now must leave, And travel on our way. To our beloved classmates The hour of triumph is nigh; So let us trust that when we leave We'll reap success—so good-by. An unknown future hides from view, With much care and pleasure and strife; But never shall our hearts be grieved For what happens during life. As we journey down this unknown road Ready and prepared to leave, Deep in our hearts we’ll cherish our motto, “Much Accomplished—Much Yet to Achieve.” JEAN HANSON
