OLD ROSE AND SILVER
The Senior Class of '37 has chos-
en- for class colors "Old Rose and Sill
YER" They have blended these col
Ors together to symbolic their char
acteristic principles. Old Rose is the
symbol of richness, value, inspiration
and true wisdom that is of all times.
It is the ancient symbol of eternal
life and knowledge that endures
throughout the ages.
Silver is the symbol of valne, rep
resenting the price one midst pay for
all LIES rich gifts and the price life
must pay back to US. 1t stands for
the medium to which all forces keep
step and all human hearts respond.
Silver will buy nearly everything in
the world-bdt not shite ALL The old
rise is needed for it represents the
true culture of mind before whose
magic touch, even money is of no
avail. However, silver is one of the
greatest treasures of the earth, and
as such signifies much to the SEN
iOrs in its promise of our power to
take from the world the best it has
to offer. Besides, there is worth
to the silver which stamps it as one
Of utility and durability. When, af-
ter the passage of years, the silver
threads begin to sprinkle the locks
of the seniors, they will speak of wis
dom and full strength of life, and still
blend reverently with the old rose in
the cheek that was once the blushing
Day.
