Springbrook
Seeks Motto
For Classes
BY Sue Fogelberg and
Pat Simila

Springbrook, relatively new
among the county's high
schools. has just started another
phase in the establishment Of
permanent traditions. Last year
the school began building tradi-
tions when it selected school
colors, dark blue and light blue
and a team name, Blue Devils"
AS the school year progressed,
1t became obvious that while
committees were being formed,
dances planned, clubs esta-
blished, and football games
played. one important aspect
of tradition, tradition was miss
ing. The school had a beauti-
full building, school colors, a
mascot, and school seal-but
we lack a good school motto.
This year, the students are
determined to choose a wOr.
thy motto. 1t has been point
ed out that the final choice
must typify SpringbrOOk's
goals and aspirations, Its
newness, its developing tradi-
lions, and apply not only to
today's students but to a null
titude of tomOrrow's stu.
dents.
When first presented to the
student body over a week ago,
a special box set up for student
suggestions received little not
ice. After the preliminary vot.
ing, it became apparent that
none of the mottos presented
lived UP to the standards that
the students had set.
Among the examples students
had to choose from were:
Knowledge is Power" minds
In Learning, Hearts in Building,
Hands in Serving" knowledge
Come, Wisdom Lingers;" "Act-
ions, Not Words" Youth Is
Americas Future"
1t was generally agreed that
these mottos didn't express the
spirit of Springbrook, nor did
any of them provide meaning
full goal for future classes. AS a
result, this week there is a new
suggestion box, ample publicity
and the promise of a school
ring for whomever submits the
winning motto.
Students have rushed to
submit their suggestions, be-
cause everyone now realizes
the Importance of a motto, not
just as an ornament or a
ring or decoration on seal,
but as guide and a goal re.
fleeing the school and its
students.
1t was felt that a motto sub.
mitted directly by the students
would be easier for them to
live by.
Springbrook, at last, seems
close to a acquiring a motto its
students, present and future,
can be proud of.
