Title: High School Class Motto
Post by: archeobabe on March 24, 2008, 09:19:57 AM
How many of you remember your high school motto?  My H G class motto "Sweeter than Hell, Going to Heaven, We're the Class of '67"  I graduated from the Severy High School. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

To be honest, to be kind - to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence, to renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embittered, to keep a few friends, but these without capitulation - above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself - here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy - Robert Louis Stevenson

Our motto from Howard High School 1967 was "When in doubt, DON'T".

I graduated from Severy High School in 1958 and we took things a lot more serious, evidently.   Our class motto was "Impossible is Un-American". Yes, folks, this year we celebrate 50 yrs. and the committee has been working since October 2007 on our class reunion and we will also host the 2008 Alumni Banquet.

Unofficially, "Gentlemen and Sexy Ladies, we're the class of 1980." Can't remember the official one. Anyone else from that class? I graduated from West Elk.

Buddyboy, I'm not sure who you are, but my youngest, Lynn, graduated in your class.  I called her to see what the correct wording is, and she laughed.  Said she'd have to think on it, been too many years.  When she, or I, remember, we'll post it for you.  Meantime, if you come up with it, let us know.  ;D

Ours was "For every door that closes, another opens"   :-\ Kind of esoteric, but I didn't pick it.

Howard High School Class of 1958 Motto" WE HAVE NOT WINGS TO FLY BUT WE HAVE FEET TO CLIMB". It is are 50th year celebration and I hope to get all of the class there for the daytime gathering and the Alumni Banquet. Diane Barber Hansen and I put on a 45th reunion and got all but 3 or 4 there. We spent a year getting ready for it. We sent out questionaires to each member and had a section for each classmember in a book that had their responses and a picture of them . We gave every Classmate a book. We also included several of our teachers in the book and invited them to the get-together. We had several of our High chool teachers attend. We always include classmates that went to school with us most of grade school or high school but didn't gradduate with us for whatever reason.

Frank, that pretty well sounds like what I am doing for our 50th this year.  No up-to-date pictures, tho.  Lots of "old" ones.  Have a few that I haven't heard from yet, but hopefully.  My deadline was April 15, just like the IRS  ::).

"Diane Barber Hansen and I put on a 45th reunion"

Diane is one of my favorite people.  She is the Mother of three of my "second" cousins.  Be sure and give her my love.

I had to get out my year book to find my class motto......it is;

" Your bigness may well be measured by the little things you are willing to do"

Flower was the Pink Rose

colors were Pink and White.

Seaman High School, Topeka, Kansas class of 1960
we had a class of 106 to graduate. Think maybe 300 or 400 hundred in the whole school.

At that time it was a comfortable size. Now it is a huge school and busy busy busy.

When I graduated in 1967, the class size was 18.

My kids graduated in classes of anywhere from 600 to 800 and that was only one high school in town.

I think after everyone got sifted out (not enough credits, drops, etc.), I think we ended up with about 45. We started our freshman year with about 60 I think.

This is my 20 year reunion.  I got to thinking about our motto and went looking through high school memorabilia.  The motto for the class of 88 at WEHS was "There comes a time in all our lives when we must spread our wings and fly."
