I just found my Memaw Bane's High School Diploma. Helen Juanita Burns graduated May 31, 1946 from Carr Central High School in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Her class flower was a gardenia, class colors were blue and gold, and class motto was "It matters not how long we live, but how."
Interestingly enough, on the last page of the booklet, there is a list of the entire graduating class, which Memaw, apparently some time later, color-coded according to "still V'burg" and "not living."
