We did not have a senior quote, but we did have a quote that I remember from elementry school that went something like this "The difficult we do right away, the impossible may take us a little time."

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."-Tolstoy

Pretty insightful for a 17yo in 1994, lol.  

But being an adult and thinking back on that quote over twenty years later, I actually understand that quote more now than ever.

Don't remember a senior class Miro but high school moto was "Enter to Learn, Go Forth To Serve".

 I am going to give you a today Senior quote, but I am not the author of it.  "GETTING OLD IS NOT FOR SISSES".

By the way, I still have two of my Senior yearbooks from high school.  Sixty five years ago, 1951,and 1954.  A poster on here said they didn't,t have them 45 years ago, they did in SAN FRANCISCO high schools.

High School:

"There's nothing so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength."

College:

"Animals are such agreeable friends, they ask no questions, pass no criticisms.

We didn't have them.

My yearbook from 1956 is in one of three storage units.  I have no idea if I had a "senior quote," but if I did, I don't remember it.

I'd really like to forget all about high school.

I don't know if I was shallow or shy, but I did not get involved in any school activities and except for English, Spelling and Grammar, Typing, and Steno, I did not do well in other subjects.  I was a depressed teenager for a lot of reasons.

After giving the class an IQ test (which they stopped doing long ago), the teacher announced I had the highest IQ in the class and then looked at me and said "what a waste."  It was certainly not my proudest moment.

I did better later in life.

My Senior quote recently: Don't make old people mad, b/c first they don't like being old and it doesn't take much to p*ss them off.
